Clifford Curzon's style of pianism is difficult to categorize quickly. Elegant, intelligent, precise are all words that spring to mind. His May 1962 recording for Decca of the Brahms Piano Concerto No.1, with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by George Szell, is a great classic. There his style can best be described as elemental and powerful. Perhaps the best way to explain Curzon would be to mention that his major teachers were Artur Schnabel and Wanda Landowska, along with classes with Nadia Boulanger. Such an eclectic group best exemplifies Curzon's all-embracing technique, making him so difficult to quantify, musically. His specialty was the core repertory, especially Mozart, Schubert, Brahms, Dvorak. He played them all with great intelligence, but what particularly strikes the careful listener is Curzon's superb phrasing. "They just don't realize what a phrase costs", he said about his audience to a friend. In his recording of the Brahms D minor, it is the powerful precision of his phrasing, with extra space surrounding each note in the exposition, that heightens the darkness of the music. Not rubato, but manipulating the entire musical phrase, was Curzon's technique when searching for meaning in the music of the great, discursive composers.
