@bontempo01 Excellent comment. Thank you. By the way,when Agi returned home on her 16th birthday, Albert Einstein opened her door to her great surprise. He had brought his violin with him, and they played together. She said 'He was not a good violonist. The more difficult the piece became, the worse he played !!!!!!!!'.
She met and married Claude Rains in 1959. They fell in love without either knowing that the other was famous, and for what. Rains was an alcoholic, the marriage lasted one year.

@stephenjoeagi Yes, but I find it interesting that with the hindsight of time Jambor and Gould provide two complementary visions of Bach. The serene and the restless. The exuberant and the contemplative.

@bontempo01 It is exactly that. Agi did not like Gould's flashy exagerated performances. Thank you for your comment. No doubt though, Glenn was a genius.

@stephenjoeagi You mean that she did not rise to fame BECAUSE of Glenn Gould? That would be very sad indeed, as Mrs. Jambor's performances are of an unrivalled serenity and maturity.

@Shezan2008 Joseph Stephens was a psychiatrist, and very talented musician. He passed on about 2 years ago. He was one of my best friends, and you can see some of his Bach performances on the harpsichord at this site. You can see the three of us in a photo, towards the end of one of the videos. Joe used to bring Agi to my house on weekends, and she used to delight us with her playing. Her career
in the 50s was eclipsed by Glenn Gould, whose excentric performances of Bach were not to her liking

@stephenjoeagi You knew her! You're Joseph Stevens? Is there any hope that some more of her recording will be available on CD? Why is she not better known?

@Shezan2008 Thank you on behalf of this great pianist, and wonderful friend.

Absolutely fantastic. I'm now mainlining ALL the Agi Jambor you've put on YouTube, and standing in AWE of her deep understanding and chromatic brilliance.

The best interpretation I heard.

This is a most curious example of the work of J.S. Bach. It is episodic in nature and seems to conclude several times before it actually does.
The voicing in this performance and the subtle, absolutely RIGHT gradations in dynamics (impossible on the harpsichord) reveal marvelous, possibly unique, insight on the part of Agi Jambor.
There's a quality here I could only describe as BRILLIANT SERENITY.
It may sound like a transcription, because the understanding revealed is incomparably rich.
