This was Agi Jambor's last recital before her death in early 1997. She played at the home of Rob Fiscella in the summer of 1996. Her Alzheimer's disease at that point was quite advanced, but if you are willing to overlook the brief lapses of memory, her beautiful playing comes through and is all the more amazing. Guests were Rudolf and Louise Marburg, Tanya and Ron Khazan, Penny and Michael Schwarz, Scott Sommerer, Susie and Max Schwarz, John Butchart, and, of course, Joe Stephens.
This THE DEFINITE PERFORMANCE of Bach's D Minor Concerto. Just listen to her voicing!

A message to aspiring pianists: Listen carefully, and STEAL from Madame Agi Jambor whatever phrase, musical idea, expression, etc. your talent allows you to appreciate. You are witnessing a great pianist's final gift to you. Many thanks and my gratitude for taking, preserving and posting this video, to aerobat3.
