Early years, education and trainingJohn Bell Young’s childhood was spent on the north shore of Long Island.[3] His mother was a librarian, his father, a native American Cherokee, was an amateur pianist and inventor.[3][4] As a child, his first piano teachers were Miriam Freundlich, whose brother-in-law Irwin was chair of the piano division at Juilliard, and later Kyriena Siloti, the daughter of Russian pianist Alexander Siloti.[3] Following his graduation from Putney, Young continued his studies at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music studying music, Russian, and philosophy.[3] He attended Bennington College studying philosophy, French and Russian literature, and semiotics, and the Mannes College of Music where he was a student of Bruce Hungerford.[4] Musical careerBest known for his performances and recordings of the music of the Russian composer, Alexander Scriabin,[5] John Bell Young performed frequently throughout Russia and the Baltics. Endorsed by Scriabin's daughters, Marina Scriabine[6] and Yelena Scriabina Sofronitsky, he was also a consultant to the first Scriabin International Piano Competition in Moscow in 1995, where a special prize was awarded in his name. Young first came to prominence in 1990 with his critically acclaimed recordings, on the Newport Classic label, of the little known musical compositions of the controversial 19th century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, which were the first commercially issued discs of his piano and chamber music.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Sony Classical has since acquired these recordings for eventual re-release.[14] In 1992 he performed Nietzsche's music in Russia, thus ending a nearly 75-year ban of the philosopher's work. He was widely regarded as a champion of rarely performed repertoire by underrated composers, several of whom were amateurs who became famous in professions outside of music.[15][16][17] In 2001, in collaboration with the British actor Michael York, he recorded Enoch Arden, a melodrama for narrator and piano by Richard Strauss, set to the narrative poem of Alfred, Lord Tennyson.[18] Writing career and later lifeJohn Bell Young was a critic for a number of leading newspapers and magazines, including: the St. Petersburg Times,[19] The American Record Guide, the Brattleboro Reformer, Music and Vision, Clavier, Piano, and Opera News. Following a stroke in 2013, Young retired from the concert stage, no longer able to play. He continued to produce recordings for other artists as well as to endorse and advise young aspiring artists about their careers through his group Artistic Spirits Productions.[20] Young suffered from mental illness and emotional problems in his later years, which caused him to become infamous in musicians' circles for his online bullying and threats. Young died in April 2017. He was pronounced dead on April 8, but indications are that he died some time before then, as he lived alone. By the time he died, he was insolvent and intestate.[2] PublicationsBeethoven's Symphonies: A Guided Tour.
