Musicology Annotation << Back «Faithful to the cult of Bach»: Activity of A. Siloti in his American period Svetlana Izotova The article is devoted to the activity of Russian pianist and conductor Alexander Siloti (1863–1945) after his departure in 1919 from Russia. In Russian literature this period of his biography has not been studied well and is unfairly considered to be not so productive as his Russian period. This publication provides information about Siloti’s concerts in Finland, UK, Germany and USA in the 1920s–1930s. The dates and programs of these concerts are verified by the author of the article on the documents stored in the archives of Europe and United States – the letters, posters and program booklets, press reviews. Particular attention in the article is given to the cycles of Bach concerts, as well as Siloti’s editions and processings of Bach music. The article presents fragments of the American press reviews from 1920s–1930s, showing the importance of Siloti’s performing activity in that period. The author of the article investigated the manuscripts and life time editions and created a list of processings and revisions of Bach works Siloti did in America. The list is attached to the article. The article shows the importance of the American period of Siloti’s activity in the Bach reception history. Keywords: A. Siloti, J.S. Bach, Bach reception history, performing activity, edition, processing. Contacts: E-mail: mysti@list.ru Pp. 42-49.
