About

The life and career of Simon Barere is illuminated in an interview with his son, Boris Barere, conducted by impresario and piano expert Jacques Leiser. The result: a wealth of information about Barere as well as first hand recollections and anecdotes of the greatest musicians of the time who knew him and visited him at Barere’s homes. This is no sentimental family memoir – it is a deeply informative, highly colorful and uncommonly entertaining cameo of a unique figure in piano history as well as some of the most famous piano legends in memory. Interspersed are some of Simon Barere’s most extraordinary recordings, both from the studio and privately taken in the concert hall, made available by the APR company that has reissued on CD all known audio documents of Barere.
