Acclaimed Classical Pianist Byron Janis Performs Tonight
In a rare Iowa performance, acclaimed classical pianist Byron Janis will present a concert of Chopin's music at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, in Herrick Chapel. Janis is renowned internationally as one of the world's greatest concert pianists. At age 16, he studied with Vladimir Horowitz after Horowitz attended Janis' recital.
Byron Janis has made a remarkable comeback, with his first recording in 34 years. His Byron Janis Plays Chopin was recorded at the American Institute of Arts and Letters in Manhattan and is available from EMI Classics. For the recording, Janis played to an audience of 80, including Andrew Bory, the great-grandson of Chopin's sister Louise.
"Though he's performed, pianist Byron Janis didn't record for 30 years because of arthritic hands. But the new Janis Plays Chopin shows he hasn't lost the poetic precision that complements this bittersweet music. In reimagining the terminally familiar waltz in G-flat major, he makes the brisk opening strain a springy folk dance; the tender second strain winds down like a music box and just about breaks your heart," writes a reviewer in Newsweek.
Janis was diagnosed with arthritis in both hands in 1973. Despite intense pain and the crippling effects of arthritis, Janis continues to perform. In 1985, he gave a performance at the White House and announced his role as spokesman for the Arthritis Foundation. As a national ambassador for the foundation, Janis speaks on behalf of the millions of people who have arthritis. He has participated in several benefit concerts.
