From his first studies with Vladimir Shushlin at the Shanghai Conservatory, Sze\u2019s sound and artistic soul carried on the great tradition of the Russian basses, including that of Alexander Kipnis, with whom he studied after emigrating to the United States in 1947. This episode captures Sze\u2019s legacy in both his live and (comparatively rare) studio recordings, including operatic arias by Verdi, Mozart and Handel, and songs by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mussorgsky, and Rachmaninov. Alongside my tribute to this great artist, I also consider the plight of the Asian musician as eloquently set forth in a riveting article published in <em>The New York Times<\/em>. Over the course of the past nearly two years since I have been producing the podcast, I consider Yi-Kwei Sze to be one of the greatest artistic discoveries on my own path. A note for my Patreon supporters: a second Yi-Kwei Sze episode is being published today that further explores his recorded legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7941\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-1536x993.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-2048x1324.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Sze-hat-brick-wall-1600x1035.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-custom-size\" style=\"font-size:30px\"><strong> RECORDINGS HEARD IN THIS EPISODE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:55px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Yi-Kwei-and-Nancy-Lee-Sze.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Yi-Kwei-and-Nancy-Lee-Sze.jpg 480w, https:\/\/countermelodypodcast.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Yi-Kwei-and-Nancy-Lee-Sze-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Yi-Kwei and Nancy Lee Sze<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhu Qing, Zhiyi Li: Separated by the Yangtze River.
