The New York Times
Seth Carlin’s
career began at the age of nine with a broadcast performance over radio
station WNYC, performing a work written especially for him. Although he
continued to concertize, it was only after a period of study in
Paris, on leave from Harvard College, that Carlin decided definitely on
a professional career in music in preference to his early interest in
science
Since then Carlin has been acclaimed by audiences and critics on for
his sensitive and moving performances on both modern piano and on
eighteenth and nineteenth century fortepianos. The wide
compass of his artistry has been revealed in his appearances as soloist
with orchestras such as the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, San
Francisco Philharmonia Baroque and Boston “Pops”, with
conductors such as Leonard Slatkin, Nichloas Mcgegan and Roger
Norrington, in recital with performers such as Pinchas Zukerman
and Malcolm Bilson, and in performances at the Festival of Two Worlds
in Spoleto, Italy, the Marlboro Music Festival, the Newport Music
Festival in Rhode Island, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, the
Great Performers at Lincoln Center Mozart Marathon, Cambridge Society
for Early Music in Massachusetts, and “On Original
Instruments” at Merkin Hall in New York. In addition he has made
appearances on French, Swedish, German and mainland Chinese national
television and radio, and recorded for Titanic and Naiad records.
Recent concerts have taken him to Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Mr. Carlin performed the cycle of complete Schubert fortepiano sonatas,
including the “Wanderer” Fantasy, in New York City during
the 1991-92 season. The concerts were broadcast nationally on National
Public Radio’s program “Performance Today.”
Seth Carlin was a prizewinner in the International Busoni Competition,
a recipient of a special scholarship from the French goverment, and one
of only two fully funded National Endowment for the Arts recitalist
grant winners in the United States in 1989. He holds degrees from
Harvard University (B.A. in music, cum laude), the Juilliard School
(M.S. in piano) and the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris (Licence de
Concert, premier nommé à l’unanimité), and
has studied piano with Rosina Lhevinne, Jules Gentil and Morton Estrin,
as well as interpretation with Wilhelm Kempff. His CD recording
of Sonatas and Bagatelles by Beethoven was named “Recording
of the Month” by Alte Musik Actuelle magazine. Carlin is
Professor of Music and head of the piano program at Washington
University in Saint Louis.
