I always heard of Clara Haskil, but never actually took the trouble of listening to her performances....My mistake! My big mistake!!!...My huge mistake!!!!...What an absolute beauty of music that woman produced!

[@ericastier1646]

Alas exactly. When i discovered her 21 years ago, i could only compare her to Rachmaninov in terms of expressive touch, virtuosity, with rubato, these three element are almost never found in a single pianist. Especially virtuosity and rubato. Almost all modern pianists cannot do a musical rubato without making you aware of them doing it, it's not natural. The art of the rubato is mastered when it's there but imperceptible to the listenner who only marvels at the music. She tends to play on the fast side but it never feels fast because she hears the music so well.

[@pianopera]

A real treat! One of the most remarkable pianists of the 20th Century, and a true child prodigy. Peter Feuchtwangler writes the following story about her on his site: "Born in Bucharest on January 7, 1895 of Sephardic Jewish parents, Haskil’s musical talent was evident in early childhood. At the age of three she could pick out any tune that an older sister played on the piano. She was not yet five when a professor at the Bucharest Academy visited her parent’s home and played a Mozart sonata. When he finished she repeated the sonata perfectly, while simultaneously transposing it into another key, all without having had any musical instruction. After her father’s death, the girl’s uncle brought her to the attention of Anton Door, a celebrated piano teacher in Vienna who had known Johannes Brahms, Clara Schumann, and Joseph Joachim. Door described meeting the girl in the Neue Freie Presse in April 1902: 'Recently a doctor from Romania came to me, leading by the hand a little girl barely seven years of age. The child, whose mother is a widow, is unique. She has never had any music lessons beyond being shown the value and names of the notes. More did not seem necessary, for every piece of music that is played to her and which she can manage with her small hands she repeats by ear without mistake and in any key one asks. An easy movement from a Beethoven Sonata that I gave her she played at sight without difficulty. One is baffled, for this early maturity of a human brain strikes one as uncanny.'"

Haskil's treatment of Beethoven's piano sonata 32 is sublime. The end of the final movement flows like a river of sound that carries the listener to the end. She is an intelligent and highly sensitive player. She has a deft and fluid touch which even in the densest parts of the piece never become heavy. One of the best performances of that very taxing sonata I've heard particularly the last movement. I had to stop listening to the other pieces just to let this performance sink in.

[@christiankircher369]

thanks for the more detail about that accident. was it really one or was she pushed by someone. As I think to remember it was in austria that happened and at that time there was still a big reject of juif people in the mentality of many austrians. We may never know what really happened. Anyway its a big loss for humanity. Clara Haskil was one of the Cortot successors like Lipatti and many other famous pianists of her time. She had a very strong reputation and her early death stopped a brillant developement of her caréer . Other important young pianists lost their lives when travelling for example by airplaine accidents. Even Rubinstein was in dangerous situations in south america when taking the airplane . He wrote about in his book about his life. Car accident also does stop careers.
