Beethoven - Piano sonata n°12 op.26 - Annie Fischer

[@notaire2]

Tiefempfundene Interpretation dieses fein komponierten Meisterwerks im gut phrasierten Tempo mit klarem und zugleich anmutigem Anschlag sowie perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt unvergleichliche Pianistin!

Wonderful performance! I especially appreciated the finale. Just one criticism: Beethoven clearly indicates staccato in much of the third movement funeral march. Fischer heavily pedals the entire movement negating the staccatos. Michelangeli's performance is a good example of less pedal in that movement. But I'm glad I came upon this performance and I will seek out more Annie Fischer performances! Thanks for posting!

Vieux souvenir ! Une sonate que j'ai jouée intégralement lorsque j'étais dans me quinzième année, commençant par la Marche Funèbre que j'avais présentée, à Carcassonne, au Royaume de la Musique, qui m'avait enregistré.... puis continuant le travail de toute la sonate....

Wonderful!!! Annie Fischer is the best pianist I've ever heard!

This is from Annie Fischer's wonderful studio recordings of all 32 Beethoven piano sonatas. She worked on the series for 15 years from 1977. The Hungarian recording company Hungaraton commissioned the recordings, gave Fischer great support throughout the venture, and ultimately published them, on 9 CDs, after her death. A brilliant achievement.

Simply superb; such giving, generous and warm-hearted playing, obtaining all of the nobility and grace of his wonderful work . What a fantastic natural technique, and what wonderful, rich and velvet depth of tone and an extraordinary spontaneity and intensity - just so moving. I heard her live only once, but this has brought all of my memories of that performance back: Annie Fischer was a great, great musician; she had a way of speaking truth directly, to both the mind and the heart. A pity, though, that the quality of the piano deteriorates so considerably in the recording; it is, quite frankly, honking by the finale - it's so bad it might almost be another, and very inferior instrument. I have read that Fischer was not happy in the studio, and that her basic modus operandum would be to play the entire work through three times and tell the producer to get on with splicing it all together - this surely does not work - especially for an undertaking as susbstantially epic as a complete Beethoven cycle. I can understand why she was like this: the recording process kills spontaneity and energy, and Fischer was the most immediately alive and spontaneous pianist imaginable, but surely she could have gone off for a few cigarette breaks while the piano technician did his stuff!

The sound does not deteriorate from my end...

Comparei esta com a gravação (ao vivo) do grande Emil Gilels, Prefiro, muito mais, a de Annie Fischer. Estou esperando a da Yulianna Avdeeva...

[@gunnarhoelstad3742]

I have heard Gilels, Barenboim and Richter give very good interpretation of this sonata, but A. Fischer comes closest to the perfect performance!!

Good performance, shame about the piano!
