About

Clara Haskil's recordings from the 1950s enjoy a cult status. Her subtle interpretations of Mozart, Beethoven and Schumann enjoyed particular fame. These studio recordings and live recordings of concert performances of great piano concertos as well as of two solo works by Schumann, released for the first time remastered from the original tapes, reveal Haskil's sensitive and natural playing which Ferenc Fricsay compared to the ability to sing on the piano.

In addition, this Audite release offers the opportunity to compare and contrast Mozart's famous Concerto in D minor, in the form of a hitherto unpublished live recording from a concert performance and in the form of a studio recording made only one day later, in January 1954.

Ferenc Fricsay and the Radio Symphony Orchestra Berlin prove to be congenial partners of a greatly distinguished pianist.
