Annie Fischer is one of the most important pianists of the 20th century, and in this impressive concert by Schumann shows it.

the older generation of pianists had so much more discipline; pedaling, especially, but also phrasing, melody, voicing, articulation. For instance 3:48 - 3:53, in today's consummate artistry, [overkill] orgasmic sounds would be at 3:49. I prefer Fischer's generation of interpretation.... all about carefully directing the line. Probably much closer to composer 'intention' (yeah, yeah) than anything one hears today. 30:36 - interesting

[ At 22:00 ] I just can't get enough of how she turns her head to the right with the beat. I feel the same way as she does. The musicality just pours out of her, and I'm so here for it! 👏 👏 👏 R.I.P. Mrs Fischer. Your talent and passion will never be forgotten & forever admired. 🎶 🎵 🌻

I have many decades of piano playing in my ear and heard all the historical best and i am not too enthralled by this performance by Annie Fisher. Maybe she was past her prime and i would pass less noticeable messy passages if they're just one or two occurrences but she has major mess ups and in the one most important bar of the entire concerto in the third movement, she recovers instantly also her sense of rhythm gets very nervous and unstable and she struggles quite a bit with the concerto technical difficulties. Again i wouldn't care if it does not degrades the musicality but it does. So no, this is not a favorite of mine and as usual when writing a critic, i expect some dumb arse to ask me if i can do better, and that is not the point. Sofar this is my least liked interpretation on youtube of all but there is probably worse. Also the piano sounded beat and loosing its singing tone. But i heard better recordings from the same period.

Jesus Christ. She's unbelievable. Maybe not the most note perfect performance I've ever heard but her playing is electric in a way that I've only experienced listening to Horowitz. And as a pianist myself, her hands are as perfect as it gets. I'm in awe.
@MrKlemps7 жыл бұрын
Agree, but her sense of the piece's architecture, of what it is really all about, is way beyond that of Horowit+. Both were incredibly unafraid the grand piano. For a somewhat different account of the Schumann by Annie Fischer, check out her recording with Klemperer (ca. 1960). They were close friends from OK's time as Music Director of the Budapest Opera in the late 1940's where Fischer's husband was general manager.

I really wonder why people who play the piano feel forced to say that they do when commenting on a pianist, as if they had more "authority" ... Who cares ? We came to this page to listen to Annie Fischer, full stop.
@jondavwal136 жыл бұрын
It wasn't a matter of authority. I was more commenting on her hands and someone who doesn't play the piano wouldn't understand. I actually studied with one of her teachers many years after she did. Watching what I was taught being done to perfection is an amazing thing to see. And don't care if you care.

Given her enormous abilities, Annie Fischer remained something of an unheralded pianist, The playing here is huge and wonderful in all the ways that matter. She often appeared in Boston near the end of her career, and the great critic, Richard Dyer, who was then in his prime years, understood her full worth and helped to achieve a large public for her.

No other pianist is closer to this wonderful work. One of the most moving musicians I have ever heard live (and I have heard them all). Total immersion, total and direct communication, total truthfulness, sincerity and passion. Very rare today, but not extinct. There are some really gifted young ones. What has gone is the period which produced the best pianists, a climate where classical music really mattered to the people. It's the receptive audience which is, after all, important.

Wow her 3 movement is lightyears ahead of most pianists. But she still only touches on JRPIANOs achievements with Hypnosis at the piano. I cant debut yet. We live in an age where every Joe and Jane has a dictatorship over their AC, car, Music, Instruments, Buildings, Resources. You expect a surge in artism when youve sterilized most forms of creative involvement, and Keycarded/Security Guarded most peoples access to their passions.

Well, I think it's a theatricality because it has nothing to do with the music execution and you never see Annie Fischer doing it.She basically looks to where the music is produced, which is on the strings. But of course it's just a personal point of view and you are entitled to yours.

To watch Annie Fischer playing is a lesson in poise, attitude, and movement. Always one with the music, never resorting to theatricalities like looking heavenwards for "inspiration" etc. Otherwise I am fully in accord with Joyce Little's insightful observations.

Annie Fischer was a pianiste like Martha Argerich but 10 times more powerful. a solid technique and a ver deep comprehension of the composition. her breething of the phrases is so natural and her sensitivity is controlled by avery intelligent play. All the recordings are worth listening. What a shame that she could not record under better conditions and had such a hard life.
