Edith Farnadi ∙ Piano Recitals in Germany 1957-1968

9.99 

Vienna became Edith Farnadi’s adoptive home after the war in 1945. The following year, she began to record for the Columbia recording company at the Brahms-Saal of the Musikverein in Vienna. In 1948, she started to make a series of LP recordings for Westminster. Many appearances with leading orchestras in Europe were followed from 1950 onwards. Her recitals were received enthusiastically by European critics such as The London Times: “Miss Edith Farnadi’s first London Recital left no doubt that she is a pianist with a prodigious technique. Liszt’s Spanish Rhapsody could scarcely have been more exciting to watch had the composer himself played it. Her technical abilities were outstanding, she played with complete mastery of piano technique and interpretation. It was a truly memorable experience.” Farnadi returned to Hungary for guest performances in the 1960’s. Combining a teaching and performing career, she joined the staff of the Music Academy of Graz in 1963 where she remained until her death in 1973 at the age of 62. Our CD album features her radio recordings of piano works by Liszt. These recordings were made in the studios of SDR broadcasting institution.
