A journalist in America once asked Rachmaninoff whom he regarded as the best pianist of his time. It was of course a naive question for it was not a 100 or 400 metre race to begin with. But it was really interesting to know what Rachmaninoff's answer would be.
It wasn't Cortot for sure, because his fingers were "so weak" according to Rachmaninoff and neither could that be Horowitz as the latter was just his protegee at the time, and Rachmaninoff had more than once bode him not to play "so fast and so loud"... It's was sure how he regarded Ignaz Friedman whom Horowitz called "maestro". But then, Friedman's teacher Leschetizky was still around at that time, so was Anna Yesipova the latter's ex-wife. Arthur Rubinstein ? He was "a clown" ( Heifetz refers ) at least he was before he shut himself up practicing hard for years in his middle years...
Rachmaninoff might at the time have Hofmann in mind, or even Lhevinne-- the latter graduated with him at the top of the class, winning the Gold Medal for piano in 1892. In 1895 he won the Second International Anton Rubinstein Competition held in Berlin. His public debut came at the age of 14 with Ludwig van Beethoven's Emperor Concerto in a performance conducted by his musical hero Anton Rubinstein... Godowsky, the pianist of pianists? For sure ranked rather high in Rachmaninoff's and likewise in Hofmann's mind. Yet, Godowsky could only played out his wonderful tone when encircled by his friends in private and not before any public or recording machine !
And let's not forget that Rachmaninoff's cousin Siloti, once his teacher, a favoured student of Liszt, editior of Tsaichovsky's 1st and 2nd Piano Concertos, was also in America at the time albeit he was not too well known in the American due to the influence of the media and we now know how powerful they are.
Siloti graduated with a gold medal in 1881 from Moscow Conservatory who could really sing with a percussive instrument-- not even Schnabel or even Lamond could do that so well. Rachmaninoff could do that too but not quite so eloquently and then there were a whole bunch of top pianists in Russia -- i.e. Goldenweiser was a student of Siloti- - and it was Siloti who presented Leopold Auer, Pablo Casals, Feodor Chaliapin, George Enescu, Josef Hofmann, Wanda Landowska, Willem Mengelberg, Felix Mottl, Arthur Nikisch, Arnold Schoenberg and Felix Weingartner, and premiered Debussy, Elgar, Glazunov, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Scriabin, Sibelius, Stravinsky and others... And then, one day the Americans were, justifiably or not, literally shocked by Richter and Gilels !

Needless to say, there was also Sauer still active mainly in Europe though. He was widely regarded as the legitimate heir of Liszt and then there was also Busoni, Eugen d'albert, Raoul Koczalski , Moriz Rosenthal, a pupil of both Chopin and Lizst, and the list goes on and on.

Last but not the least, there was Erno Von Dohnanyi or even Annie Fischer whom few Americans have really listened to:

PS
As a conductor Siloti gave the world premiere of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the composer as soloist in 1901. From 1901-1903, he led the Moscow Philharmonic; from 1903-1917, he organized, financed, and conducted the influential Siloti Concerts in St Petersburg, collaborating with the critic and musicologist Alexander Ossovsky.
Siloti presented Leopold Auer, Pablo Casals, Feodor Chaliapin, George Enescu, Josef Hofmann, Wanda Landowska, Willem Mengelberg, Felix Mottl, Arthur Nikisch, Arnold Schoenberg and Felix Weingartner, and local and world premieres by Debussy, Elgar, Glazunov, Prokofiev, Rachmaninoff, Rimsky-Korsakov, Scriabin, Sibelius, Stravinsky and others.

Questo dipinto, un meraviglioso quadro di vita quotidiana degno di Manzoni, fu donato alla Pinacoteca di Brera da Giovanni Testori, storico dell'arte, drammaturgo, giornalista e figura culturale di spicco della Milano di fine secolo.
This painting, a marvellous picture of daily life worthy of Manzoni, was donated to the Pinacoteca di Brera by Giovanni Testori, an art historian, playwright, journalist and leading cultural figure in late 20th century Milan.
My uncle just passed away a week ago and he was a journalist and well known historian in the Netherlands. I am receiving articles about him and the one mentioned him as a "gentleman journalist". This scene today at the Remembrance Day Ceremony made me think of him. There is a fine line between recording events as a journalist and respecting the significance of the moment. This soldier was doing his best to reflect on the moment ahead of him while behind him the media was making sure others who could not make it to the cenotaph, could see it on tv or read about it in the paper. I wonder how my uncle would have handled this moment knowing that the Canadian soldiers helped give his family freedom in the Netherlands.
As a photojournalist, Sam Hood provided photos for newspapers including the Sydney Mail, Australasian, Daily Guardian, Sun and Sydney Morning Herald. He covered many of Australia’s landmark events, but on this occasion Hood captured a more personal moment. While covering a polo match, he photographed a man — perhaps a fellow journalist — asleep at the wheel of a car. Hood’s composition leaves the match in the background hanging like a ‘dream bubble’ over his head. PXE 789 (v.50) collection.sl.nsw.gov.au/record/nQRq2gd1/PaDqvXpLqwgL2

Unknown female journalist, at a former car park off Venns Lane, Hereford, Herefordshire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, but circa October 1987 to circa March 1989.
About the photograph.
This lady is a journalist, she is a reporter for a local radio station. That is all I can tell, I don’t know what radio station she worked for, who she is, or anything like that. I think her car was unmarked and did not show company logos, even if it did, I don’t remember as it was like a long time ago.
Between 1987 to 1989, I attended a college course in graphic design, at a local college which is only about 5 to 10 minute walk from where this photograph was taken.
In those days, computers were mainly for work like in offices, as computers at home, for personal use was like a luxury not everybody can afford. While the Internet exists, it was only for the military, universities, offices, and was mostly text based information. The World Wide Web and browsers for home and personal use didn’t take off until the 1990s. The early mobile phones were mainly shaped like a brick and was only used for voice communications.
Therefore there was no Twitter, no Facebook, no social media like you have today.
I was unaware of what was going on, it was only when I noticed an activity outside, either when I was coming back to the art building from break time, or from the window at the top floor, and I went to ask one of my tutors, to enquiry what is going on.
That was when I was told college students were going on a march through city centre, in a protest as the British government which was planning on scraping grants and replacing it with loans for students.
I asked my tutor if I could be excused from my class, which was studying graphic design, and I really wanted to be a photographer, so my tutor agreed. Thankfully I had my Minolta X-700 35mm camera with me, and I asked if I could have some more spare rolls of film from the supply cupboard. Permissions granted, I went to grab as many as I could fill my pockets with, and off I went.
The march had not started yet, the students were gathering around at a car park off Venns Lane, which is now used as a private hospital called Nuffield Health Hospital. (One of my black and white photos in my Photostream, under the title “Cops” was taken at the same place.)
I started looking around for subjects to shoot, noticed her, and took a photo of her.
As far as I know, she was one of the very few journalist who were using the car park to get ready, just like the students and the police were getting ready, it was the starting point. It was not a big national news, just a local news.
Afterwards, I went along on the march, trying to take photos of the protest. You can see more of those photos in either two of my albums, one is titled Black and White or the other one titled Minolta X-700.
When it was done, I developed and printed the photographs myself, and thankfully still have the prints. I simply scanned the prints using my Brother multifaction printer/fax/scanner, and saved the image in my computer, for uploading to Flickr.
What is this all about?
At that time, the British government under then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, had decided that funding to help students should be done by means of loans, which would need to be paid back by the students when they leave college and get jobs, not by grants.
But students all over the UK are not happy with this, and are protesting against this idea. The college I attended was one of the colleges that took part in the protest.
That is why they’re saying ”Grants Not Loans.”
I have a few photos of the protests in two of my albums, just look in either Black and White or Minolta X-700.

Arnold Henry Savage Landor (2 June 1865 - 26 December 1924) - Figures and mule, Nikkō (1889) - oil on wood - Exhibition "Painting Asia from life" - MAO, Museum of Oriental Art, Turin
Artista, antropologo, esploratore, avventuriero, scrittore, fotografo, giornalista e inventore: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) è una figura poliedrica estremamente interessante, che ha goduto di grande successo in vita e che, per motivi non del tutto chiari, è caduta totalmente nell’oblio dopo la sua morte. Savage Landor nacque a Firenze da padre inglese e madre italiana. Visse la sua adolescenza in un ambiente colto, in cui letteratura e arte erano passioni quotidiane. Tra i suoi maestri vi fu Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), che intuì le capacità del giovane e suggerì alla famiglia di lasciare che si dedicasse alla pittura. Partito presto alla scoperta del mondo, il giovane Henry visitò prima alcuni paesi dell’Africa settentrionale e dell’America, per muoversi poi alla volta dell’Asia: Giappone, Corea, Cina, dove dipinse centinaia di opere dal vero in uno stile 'impressionistico-macchiaiolo' di rapida esecuzione.
L'unicità documentaria delle sue creazioni appare evidente: in un periodo in cui ci si affidava già all'immediatezza della fotografia, Savage Landor ha persistito a lungo nel dipingere en-plein-air, prendendo però nettamente le distanze dalle visioni fantasiose e dallo stile minuziosamente classico della pittura di genere Orientalista per immergersi invece nel mondo asiatico reale, restituendone i vari aspetti con i tratti espressivi della modernità. Lo stile dell’artista anglo-fiorentino, rapido e conciso, si rivela infatti estremamente efficace nel 'fotografare' con immediatezza luoghi e persone che di lì a qualche decennio sarebbero completamente cambiati per conseguenza dell'incipiente globalizzazione.
Explorer, adventurer, writer, photographer, journalist and inventor: Arnold Henry Savage Landor (1865-1924) is an extremely interesting figure, who had great success in life and, for still unclear reasons, fell into oblivion after his death.
Savage Landor was born in Florence to an English father and an Italian mother. He spent his childhood and adolescence in very lively intellectual circles, where literature and art were daily passions. Among his teachers was Stefano Ussi (1822-1901), who sensed the young man's skills and suggested his family to let him devote to painting. Leaving home to discover the world, young Henry first visited some countries in North Africa and America, then moved to Asia: Japan, Korea, China, where he made hundreds of paintings in real life.
The documentary uniqueness of his creations is evident: at a time when the immediacy of photography was already being exploited, he long insisted on painting en plein air.
Although he was well aware of Orientalist painting, he stayed strictly away from its edulcorated, fantastical visions and from its meticulously classic style, preferring to plunge into the real world of Asia and portray it in a modern artistic manner.
The style of the Anglo-Florentine artist, quick and concise, proves to be extremely effective in "photographing" places and people who would have completely changed after a few decades as a result of the incipient globalization.

Male journalist, at a factory, somewhere in Worcester, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Date unknown, but circa 1992-94.
About the photograph.
This is a local newspaper journalist, the one seen here with the camera, attending an event at a local factory.
The factory is one of those companies that makes either the majority of the parts or even an engine, for an open wheeled single seat racing car, like a Formula One car, which you can see in the right side of the photo. The factory allowed a group of school children to attend a tour, to talk about engineering works on stuff like that, possibly to let those kids think about their future.
Because of this, the local newspaper sent us, that’s him and me, to attend and report about it. I’ll explain why I’m there in the next section below.
What is this all about?
I am a deaf person, I attended a deaf school ran by hearing teachers, and in my last year (1985-86) at school, my class were learning about jobs and work. The teacher and the visiting career advisor were to tell us about jobs, like difference between part-time and full-time, and stuff like that. They also talk to us about what kind of jobs and future we wanted to have, and also to see what needs to be done after school. Like to see if arrangements can be set up for some to get a job after leaving school, or if some of us need to attend college.
I admit my first choice was to become a diver, but my teacher dismissed it as something I can’t do because of my being deaf. I had at least 3 or 4 other ideas, but all were shot down. It is easy to look back and realised that was discrimination.
My next idea was to become a photographer. I really wanted to, I want to be a photographer, and wanted to study photography. Again, he dismissed it, but I decided to put my foot down, and stick with it. I keep trying to ask for a college course in photography, they keep asking me to rethink my options.
As time was running out, they all agreed to make arrangements for me to attend a one-year college course, which is really more of a further education course. Once again, I keep asking for a college course in photography after that course.
Finally they got me a two year college course, but it was more of training course. I had three days on-the-job training, working for a professional photographer, and two days at college, studying graphic design.
After leaving college, I struggled with trying to get a job in photography, because during those days, the early 1990s, there were still discrimination against disabled people.
I think maybe around 1993, the Job Centre got me a short term training course, in helping improve my job seeking chances, and I managed to ask if I could have a volunteer work in photography, and somehow got a placement with a local newspaper’s photography department.
I was there, familiarise myself with how photojournalist work, and learn the ropes. I was told to go with this journalist to attend this event, and while he was taking photographs for the newspaper, I was taking photographs of him for myself.
It was only a few weeks, but enough for me to want to push harder, and try to get into photography as careers, even if I still face discrimination.

Last night members from the United States 75th Ranger Regiment located and liberated captured photojournalist reporter Jake March. March was captured by Mujahideen forces in northern Afghanistan last September.
March has been embedded with Marines, Army, and even the elusive Special Forces groups including Green Berets and accompanying Navy SEALs on several missions throughout Iraq, Afghanistan, and locations in Africa.
While missing his fellow reporters tapped every local contact they had in the attempt to locate him ultimately resulting in several leads which led to his rescue.
March says he now plans to take some time at home before re-embedding with American forces on the front lines.
