Rami Bar-Niv (Hebrew: רמי בר-ניב; born December 1, 1945) is a virtuoso concert pianist,[1] composer,[2][3] master-teacher, and author. He has been performing worldwide for over fifty years.[4]

Biography

Rami Bar-Niv was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel. He began taking piano lessons at the age of five with his mother, Genia Bar-Niv. He is a graduate of the Ron Shulamit Conservatory.[5] He graduated with honors from the Tel Aviv University Rubin Academy of Music,[6] where he studied with Karol Klein.[7] He studied composition with Israel's foremost composers, amongst them Paul Ben-Haim, Alexander Boskovitch,[8] and Ödön Pártos.

In 1966 he won the America-Israel Cultural Foundation[9][10] competition and was awarded a scholarship to further his studies in the United States.[11][12][13]

At Mannes College of Music,[14] he studied with the renowned Mme. Nadia Reisenberg[15] and with the theorist Carl Schachter. During the summer of 1968 he studied with duo pianists Vronsky & Babin. After finishing his post-graduate studies he embarked on an extensive concert career, performing in five continents.[16][17][18] His compositions[19] are published,[2] recorded,[20] and performed all over the world.[21][22] His first book, "The Art of Piano Fingering",[23] was published in 2012.

Career

Performing

In 1958, at age 13, Rami started performing in Israel; in 1963, at 18, he also started performing abroad. In 1966 he travelled to the United States for graduate studies and concert tours. In 1972, after returning from the US, he began traveling internationally to perform in North, Central and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.[24][25] In 1989 he received the annual "Best Performer Award" from the Israeli government.[11][12] He regularly appears on TV[26] and radio,[3][27] in chamber ensembles,[28][29][30][31] solo recitals,[32][33] and as a soloist with orchestras.[34] He often travels abroad at the request of the Israeli Government, serving as a goodwill ambassador.

Notable performances

As a result of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin on March 26, 1979, Rami Bar-Niv was the first Israeli invited to perform in Cairo, Egypt.[35] [note] He was also the first Israeli artist to perform in Zimbabwe and Malawi.[36]

Tim Page of the NY Times wrote about Bar-Niv's NYC performance of the Shostakovich 1st piano concerto: "flamboyant and effective".[34]

Recordings

Bar-Niv's recordings for CBS[37][38][39] and other labels,[40] in Israel and abroad, have met with praise and popularity. His recordings have also been prevalent on the Internet, often placed at the top of the charts.[41] Bar-Niv is known for his versatility, performing music of great variety and contrast in style. His repertoire is wide and varied and includes classical music, American, Spanish, Israeli, Jewish, 20th Century, and his own compositions.

Compositions

Bar-Niv's compositions[42] include a song cycle dedicated to the Holocaust, "Longing for my Father", for voice and piano/orchestra,[43] other orchestral works, chamber music, solo pieces for piano, flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, sax, violin, viola, and cello. His two main styles of composition are Israeli music/Jewish music and Ragtime.[44] A first in the history of music is his Shmateh-Rag[45] for piano solo, a combination of the Jewish Kleizmer style and Ragtime. Shmateh-Rag is also arranged for a piano duet, for any solo instrument with piano accompaniment, and, in a simplified version, for the young pianist.

Teaching

Rami Bar-Niv teaches and gives master classes and workshops worldwide during his travels,[46] and in between concerts. In upstate NY (USA) he conducts the Rami's Rhapsody Piano Camp for adults of all piano playing levels.[47] The first "Rami's Rhapsody Piano Camp" was held in Utica, NY in November 2006.

Fingering Book

Bar-Niv wrote “The Art of Piano Fingering – Traditional, Advanced, and Innovative".[23] It is a 212-page book teaching the craft of fingering at the piano. The book contains music examples, photos and diagrams, exercises and injury-free technical advice. Reviewers praise the book and say that it is the first of its kind in the 303 years of piano playing.[citation needed]

Personal life

Rami Bar-Niv comes from a musical family: his late father, Aaron Bar-Niv, who was the chief comptroller of the Ministry of Defense (Israel), played and taught the violin; his mother, Genia Bar-Niv, currently (2012) 94 years old, was a dedicated piano teacher; his elder brother, Yair Barniv, a NASA Aerospace engineer, is a talented amateur violinist.

He married Andi Steinkritz in 1968 in NYC. His son, Tal,[48][49] is a trumpet virtuoso who has played as principal under some of the greatest conductors in the world; his daughter, Sheli,[50] is also musically gifted.

Honors and awards

  • America-Israeli Cultural Foundation Competition (1966)aicf
  • Best Performer Award, Israeli Government[12][13]

Notes

  1. note The music critic Yohanan Boehm, in his Jerusalem Post Magazine article of Friday, July 23, 1982, said: "Rami Bar-Niv deserves to be known as a roving ambassador for Israel." and "He was the first Israeli artist to appear on a concert stage in Cairo (at the end of May)."
