Franz my favourite author or one of them

[sylvio1980]

Best performance of this movement i have ever heard, most sublime , most ethereal, celestial, heavenly - call what you wish

I already bought lp of this hard to find performance on ebay

It wasn't she who was playing. No way! This is impossible! This is not human! Or is just this what humanity is all about?

[bubjar]

"Sehnsucht" is the word that best captures the spirit in this heartreanding piece, Connection to God (who or whatever that is). Friedrich Gulda is also phenomenal. He captures the masculinity of Beethoven better than anyone else in my opinion.

actually i read different literature recently that said she had received much help throuhg her life from many people and patrons. And her sister I thin k was kind to her. So it wasn t all bad. i believe she had a great sense of humour and met her idol Chaplin on a couple of occasions. She knew the key to life. let humour dampen the sometimes cruel world we live in. i guess being in plaster for a year or so and not being able to play the piani must have been torture.

Where can I read about her sad story?

[FerozaLaBonne]

So true and genuine....prayer in motion

[mehertoorkey]

One of the most poignant slow movements of all time and played with the most heart rending anguish, yet nobility and purity.Bless her!
