The legendary 1956 recording of Mozart’s piano sonatas by Lili Kraus gets our highest mark. A disconcerting technical ease, a dynamic and a palette of attacks of infinite variety, a right sensitivity, an intelligent use of the pedal and a very subtle mastery of the rubato, in the greatest respect of the style and the classical period. It is enough to read this single sentence of Lili Kraus to understand the full scope of her interpretation.
When I began to explore Mozart, I discovered the infinite beauty of that music, and somehow it is given to me to give life to that beauty. I find it my God-given duty, privilege, and if you like, cross, to consecrate my life to this music.” Lili Kraus
We had already published the recordings of Lili Kraus, but we had new sources which allowed us to make a remastering even more authentic than the previous one. The old post completes this one with different pieces, fantasies, variations.. Activate the English subtitles to read Claudio Arrau’s presentation.
