  • Description

    – a very special artist and outstanding pianist of the 20th century – Mozart interpreter of the first order – 10 original albums from the years 1934 to 1962 – Works by Mozart, Haydn, Schubert and Bartók – with Szymon Goldberg, Willi Boskovsky, Pierre Monteux, Victor Desarzens, Gianfranco Rivoli and Homero de Magalhães



    It’s about time for the (re-)discovery of an outstanding pianist of the 20th century! Lili Kraus, born in Hungary, set interpretative milestones with her Haydn and Mozart recordings and is also highly regarded by connoisseurs around the world for her playing of the works of Schubert. In Germany, her perception always stayed in the shadows of an Edwin Fischer or Wilhelm Backhaus, as she represented a completely different, much less monumental style of interpretation. Her subtle interpretive skills were particularly appreciated in France, where most of her recordings were made. Kraus was educated in Budapest by Zoltán Kodály (music theory) and by Béla Bartók (piano), in Berlin she later attended Artur Schnabel’s masterclass. Her career, which began in the 1930s, was rudely interrupted by the rise of National Socialism in Germany. Kraus fled from the persecution of Jews to England and the Netherlands. On her first world tour in 1943 she was arrested in Japan and released after the war in a dreadful mental and physical state. It was not until 1948 that she was able to resume her career. Lili Kraus' special love was for chamber music. She played the violin sonatas by Mozart and Beethoven among other with violinists Szymon Goldberg and Willi Boskovsky, her favorite chamber music partners. Testimonies of this exquisite musical collaboration can be heard in this documentation including 10 original albums from 1934 to 1962 with works by Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Schubert and Bartók.
