Davis also instituted marathon recital series on which he appeared with his students in the complete piano works of Chopin, Brahms, Schumann and the 32 Beethoven sonatas. These have become the highlight of the school's musical calendar. His reputation as a distinguished pedagogue resulted in his being a visiting Professor at Indiana University, as well as presenting Master Classes throughout the United States. Davis serves regularly on the juries of several prestigious international piano competitions.Because of his vast knowledge and great love for opera, Davis became a frequent and popular panelist and lecturer on the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts. He appeared in joint recitals with the legendary soprano Magda Olivero at Carnegie Hall and later with the Met's reigning prima donna Renata Scotto in Paris (recorded on Etcetera Records). His recording for Audiofon of music by Liszt and Schumann was called "the greatest piano recording ever made" by Byron Belt, the late Critic-at-Large for the Newhouse News Service. Also released on that label are an all-Grieg recital and a 2-cd album (Souvenirs) comprising his London debut recital and live encores.On February 12, 1984, Ivan Davis performed the Rhapsody in Blue in New York City on the 60th anniversary recreation of the famous Paul Whiteman concert that featured the world premiere of George Gershwin performing his masterpiece. The anniversary concert with Maurice Peress conducting the Paul Whiteman Band has been recorded on the Musicmasters label. Davis had previously recorded the Rhapsody in Blue with Lorin Maazel and the Cleveland Orchestra for London. By popular demand, the anniversary concert was repeated in New York City as well as presented at Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Rome (Italy). Mr. Davis also performed the Gershwin Concerto in F with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1986, as well as in Italy and Singapore. The Paul Whiteman concert has been presented in over 70 cities throughout North America.Mr. Davis has performed at festivals in Bergamo-Brescia, Sorrento and L'Aquila, Italy during the summers of 1988-89 as well as giving master classes in both piano and voice in Salzburg, Austria. He received a signal honor in being asked to play the final concert on the illustrious Zelzer series in Chicago which began in 1930 with a recital by Gigli. He appeared with the three orchestras of South Florida in 1993, performing Gershwin with the New World Symphony, Mozart and Mendessohn with the Miami Chamber Orchestra and Beethoven with the Florida Philharmonic. On February 2, 1997, he gave an enormously successful recital, celebrating both his birthday and his 30 years at the University of Miami. The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel said: "The most imaginative, interesting and insightful pianist around -- much more than just technical assurance -- he knows how to make a piano sing -- a thoroughly enriching concert." The Miami Herald noted: "The pianist sounded like his old, or rather young, self. Davis the virtuoso is back."When not practicing, performing or teaching, Ivan Davis can usually be found cooking and entertaining in his spacious custom-designed kitchen in Miami or he might be watching football or showing movies (over 8,000 in his collection) in his private audio-video theater.http://www.ivandavis.com/Bio.html================================ *Note:Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.
