Charles Reiner. Pianist, accompanist, teacher, b Budapest 7 Apr 1924, naturalized Canadian 1956, d Montreal 19 Aug 2006. At a young age, Reiner was soloist with the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra. After his release from a concentration camp in Austria, Reiner attended the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest, and in 1947 received a concert diploma. His teachers were Arpad Hanak, Arnold Szekely, and Bela Böszörmenyi-Nagy. He won the 1948 International Competition for Musical Performers in Geneva and in 1949 was awarded first prize for virtuosity by the Geneva Conservatory, where he had studied with Dinu Lipatti and Louis Hiltbrandt. After performing in various European centres, he won first prize (1950) in a United-Nations-sponsored competition of the International Refugees Organization.


Szeryng's facility, natural phrasing and impeccable intonation are wonderful as always, but with this musician virtuosity alone is never the point. What's special is how unerringly he finds the spiritual center of the piece, and he never lets go..

...as renowned violin collector Herbert Axlerod once said his violin is one of the best concert violins in the world, when I read that I ran out and bought all of his records. Szeryng has showed many times that he is one of the best violinists of the 20th century because of his impeccable intonation, timing, imaginative phrasing, and unique musical delivery of sound.
