Beethoven 'Appassionata', 1st mvt: Dame Myra Hess (1945)
Loading...
Uploaded by TheGreatPerformers on Jun 7, 2007
Dame Myra Hess in a lunchtime concert at the National Gallery plays the opening movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata in F minor, Op 57.
During the war years, and the blitz, Dame Myra Hess organized over a thousand concerts at the National Gallery. The Gallery had removed all their paintings, keeping just one on display each month as thousands of folks (many not regular concert goers) came to hear, be inspired, and maybe gain a little hope by these wartime concerts.
Andrew Dickson wrote in his blog at the "Guardian": "the monumental Appassionata - always associated in my mind with a wartime film of Myra Hess at the National Gallery, playing those crashing F minor chords at with a stubborn intensity that takes on all the death and mayhem around."

@darkblueangel1956 Ma chi ha necessitá di "oscurare" a nessuno? Dame Myra Hess era un Titano del pianoforte,e questo clip é una storica testimonianza in tempi di guerra

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this gem!

I love the stormy atmosphere she conjures up. Not many pianists do that nowadays.

Myra Hess mi ha sempre lasciato una certa perplessità, per il suo stile ormai sorpassato e fuori luogo, da molti decenni. La capacità di rinnovarsi e mettersi in discussione per cercare nuove strade NON E' PER TUTTI ! E il tempo è un filtro inesorabile, quando la qualità non è SEMPRE tutto oro puro. Basta ascoltare Rubinstein Brendel e Arrau per oscurare Dame Myra Hess. Scusate la mia franchezza !
