Fascinating and moving. Yet another testimony for the tenacious quality and eternal youthfulness of the artistic spirit. As in the recordings of Francis Planté, the artist's vitality shines through and renders insignificant all physical limitations. One can almost imagine that such a spirit goes on forever...
It is difficult to believe Mme Jambor had Alzheimer's at the time of this playing. :-( What a lovely lady! This isn't listening we're doing, it's going on a pilgrimage of sorts. Brava, Agi!!! How do we spread her name across the world? People need to know about her art. Thanks to you ALL, and to Dr. Stephens, of course.
I was fortunate to have Agi as a friend, and she played her last recital at my home. I filmed it with an old 8 mm camcorder. In retrospect, I wish i had set up proper lighting, mikes, etc.
This is an incredible video. It is a testament to a great pianist in her late eighties, inflicted with Alzheimer's disease. In spite of that, there is a treasure of musical ideas contained in Bach's D Minor Concerto, attacks, staccati, rubati, etc. which could serve any pianist who performs this beautiful concerto. When Agi sat on the piano, she took a few seconds before playing, to transport herself into her world of music, a world that belongs only to great artists. Thank you very much.
thats really really amazing!

Amazing. Here I went walking down the path of Claude Rains's life, and this is where it briefly led me to.
Thank you, I'm entranced, and grateful.
