Annie Fischer plays Beethoven: Piano Concerto in Esz-dur

[@hunterkimble233]

My piano teacher studied with Annie Fischer in Budapest in the 1950s. Not only did they resemble each other physically (including their small, boxy hands) but their techniques are almost identical! It gives me chills to watch/listen to this performance and brings back memories of wonderful, gifted, and giving person.

Magnífica interpretación llena de temperamento y sensibilidad.

She plays the elegiac second movement-some of the masters most powerful music(P.D. James' Dagliesh can imagine it as his ONLY funeral music) as beautifully as anyone . Amen.

With a bit of old fashioned string play...a knockout performance by Fischer..as good as I have heard in many a moon!

Annie Fischer was one of the greatest musicians of her time. That she did not have the huge international career that was her just due was the enormous damage done by promoters and managers, by all the components of the music "business".

[@gonzalovaldivia3835]

MrKlemps,well said

[@gaiusflaminius4861]

She toured a lot in Europe. You're yet to prove the part about the damage by promoters and managers, especially considering the climate of the communist Hungary she and her husband returned to after WW2.

24:39 the climax of the second movement . Look at her "pianissimo subito" at 24:54 , it betrays everything of her ..... look at her face ...... ! ......incredible moment .... (I wish I could have lived something (like her) which would me make able to play like that at these tremendous moments) (or perhaps not , it is so painful)

[@doGreatartistsgrowontrees]

Fritz Maisenbacher Yes, a very special moment. The convergence of heart, soul and music.

[@johnsmith-mo1yc]

What is the female equivalent of "maestro"? Cos' she has it "in spades". Wonderful performance that puts most of our modern "greats" into the shadows.

This is not Vienna Philharmonic

[@ivanpick6978]

there are many excelent symphonic orchestras beside vienna philharmonic in the world

[@purple467]

ivan pick, that's not my point. Of course there are. Isn't it written that the orchestra is Vienna Phil?

[@ivanpick6978]
