This amazing woman and musician lived lived in my community in the North Carolina mountains after she retired. The few times we met, mostly at chamber orchestra concerts in which i performed as a high school student, she gave me great inspiration to follow my dreams as a musician. I shall always feel blessed to have been touched by her.
THERE SHE IS!!! She would certainly be on the list of the top five pianists who have ever lived. And, of course, TCU was nothing before she got there and, without her, it is nothing now. No matter what pretenses they have.
@thierrym89 It's the Schubert Grazer Fantasie. It was discovered in the 1960's. She was given a copy if the manuscript and was the first to perform it. There is a DVD of her playing it and Michael Steinberg interviews her about it. It's a beautiful piece!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I had the great pleasure of knowing Madame Kraus as we called her. I was a oboe performance major at TCU and on several occasions she played with the university symphony orchestra. As you could imagine we were all in awe of her. She was considered one of the best interpreters of Mozart alive at the time as she was a third genration student of Mozart. That is her teachers, teachers, teacher had studied with Mozart . Thank you again for posting this vid
my aunt, Talita Fonseca, studied with her. that makes my aunt a 6th generation student of Mozart. at the end of one of lili krauss's concerts in the carnegie hall, everybody wanted more of her music. so she said that she would call someone capable of representing her and invited my aunt to the stage. sadly my aunt abandoned her career to become a housewife and now she's vanishing because of alzheimer.
Lily actually used to stay at our house in Lower Hutt, New Zealand when she would visit for concerts. It was a great thrill for me, a child at the time, to hear her practicising on our upright Bechstein Piano

@plaidword It's not a song (you don't sing it); it's a piano piece.
