Die wunderbare Annie Fischer, man könnte fast fragen, was spielt sie eigentlich nicht auf allerhöchstem Niveau. Sie war eine der größten Künstlerinnen der Klaviergeschichte..wenn nicht die größte!!! Grandios und einzigartig! Richter liebte sie nicht umsonst so...!!!
I absolutely love the ringing sonority of the bass notes when she plays them in the first movement! And I agree with the other comments when people wrote that she made this piece sound different from other pianists, so true!
I totally agree with you. I hold her as one of the greatest woman piano players, along with Grinberg and Yudina. This Beethoven set is one of those I prefer, it is very consistant, and she's got perfect mastery of the great sonatas, especially Waldstein, Appassionata and op.111. Richter respected and love her a lot, he really liked her "direct behaviour", he said that she was often able to point all the interpretative mistakes he made during a concert (and not only the wrong chords).
ABsolutely fabulous, staggering. I cannot find words for this, surpassing even Richter. and what a strength to keep up this tempo in fortissimo with full power...
Echt leidenschaftliche Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks im gut artikulierten Tempo mit entschiedenem Anschlag und völlig effektiver Dynamik. Sehr eindrucksvoll und unvergesslich!
il boxset warner presenta 6 o 7 sonate di beethoven di annie fischer (quelle degli anni 50 della EMI), ed è assolutamente immancabile...pensavo che certe registarzioni londinesi assolute fossero perse e nessuno se ne curasse ed invece all'improvviso le hanno rieccitate il 15 aprile 2014. Immancabile d960 di schubert, terzo di bartok e mozart...
@@bigbong620 Congratulations on being able to interpret my comment. Let me help you a wee bit. I said that it was better than Barenboim's in my opinion. This one has 65000 views, Barenboim's has 1.8 million. Do you understand why I was a little surprised?
A famosa gravação de Richter da RCA vendeu milhares e milhares de cópias. Era melhor do que a presente gravação de Annie Fischer? São as duas melhores gravações, na minha opinião.
A versão que me acompanhou ao longo da v ida foi a integral de Gulda. Ao longo da/das de Kempf e Richter - até eu "descobrir" AFischer, hoje minha preferida. Fudo o que toca é maravilhoso,vc tem vontade de não parar de escutar!
One of the reasons Annie's performance is so special is that she played Bösendorfer. All Beethoven's piano music including his concertos should be played on authentic fortepianos (e.g., Conrad Graf, Broadwood). Failing that, Bösendorfer would be the best choice, because its sound is closer to a fortepiano than Steinway's etc. Those who insists on using modern pianos simply don't care much about Beethoven, whose works are merely used by them as their warhorse to conquer the world.
A few more words on this particular recording: I compare it with Richter (1960) after adjusting to equalize the volumes. I found Annie's recording is of more passionate, immediate and personal nature, whereas Richter's is of greater scale, more mystic and unstoppable. I love to have both recordings, but I had to choose only one, I would remain firmly on Richter's side.
@@ershenlin1774 I can't agree with your authentic fortepiano claim. I can see why someone would rather not choose a modern Steinway, but I can't see why he should have a problem with firms which have retained their family sound, like Bluthner, or August Föster for instance. In the family of renditions you would also appreciate Ernst Levy's and John Ogdon's recordings too, I believe.
@@amakrid Basically what I meant is Beethoven did not write for Steinway. If He were alive today, he almost certainly would write for Steinway, but in a different way.
@@ershenlin1774 I know what you mean, the Steinway has a much different sound, I much prefer Beethoven's sonatas played on the more authentic models as you said
I have to modify my initial opinion: I have switched from Richter's side to her side. Now consider her as possibly the greatest interpreter of Beethoven sonatas.
I love Annie Fischer, I was still in school when she played here in Boston Ma. I remember playing a Mozart Sonata and the Carnival, the sounds that she produced in Jordan Hall to my ears harken back to older pianists like Horowiz where tthe sound floated many colors floating all around us. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure !
OHHHHHHH Annie figlia di Edwin Fischer pianista direttore d'orchestra docente allievo di Krause che è stato allievo di Liszt wowowowowow (Liszt insegnava a studiare molto bene scale e arpeggi , mentre gli esercizi di tecnica ti portano a fare un lungo giro prima di arrivare al risultato voluto, il famoso giro di Peppe come si dice a Roma; questo risulta scritto dalla contessa d' Agoult nei suoi appunti dove scrive come insegnava Liszt a suonare il pianoforte ai suoi allievi).
Ho pensato che portando lo stesso cognome fosse figlia di Edwin pianista; invece lo studio del pianoforte è avvenuto in luoghi differenti e con differenti maestri ; c'è solo lo stesso cognome è vero.
Risulta vincitrice del concorso F.Liszt di Budapest nel 1933, e quindi con una eccezionale tecnica pianistica; tuttavia nel suo repertorio risultano pochissime composizioni di Chopin . Probabilmente ne aveva abbastanza delle composizioni di Liszt per dimostrare il suo grande pianismo.
+Camillo Flaim Sul fatto che sia stata una grandissima pianista non ci sono dubbi ;) Del suo repertorio abbiamo importanti registrazioni di Mozart, Schubert, Schumann e ovviamente l'integrale delle sonate di Beethoven, tra le più belle.
I'd be very interested in listening to Maria Yudina's interpretation of the Appassionata which you obviously believe to be so vastly superior to Annie Fischer's. It must be an extraordinary performance. Please give me details of where you heard it. Thanks.
I listen to a LOT of piano's greatest players... but Annie, she defines passion.
One of the best. Very happy that I found her interpretations. She should be mentioned among all the other great interprets
What a fabulous performance. This is absolutely up there with the greatest recordings I've ever heard.
Share links of your other favorites
coda too slow
@@noriskky Whaat?? Too slow??
un tsunami appelé Annie Fischer...Une interprétation extraordinaire.
09:08, this was Beethoven's own favorite sonata. He thought it was his best piano sonata.
Great sound recording.
Have not ever before heard it played like this. Simply wonderful. Feels as though this is what Beethoven meant it to be.
Now i am listening to a super giant artist with excellent technic and nuance. Thanks for uploading.
Truly one of Beethoven's immortal beloveds.
WAHNSINN, Wunderschön, GREAT.... ich habe keine Worte meine Gedanken und Gefühle auszudrucken...!!! BRAVO..!!!
Die wunderbare Annie Fischer, man könnte fast fragen, was spielt sie eigentlich nicht auf allerhöchstem Niveau. Sie war eine der größten Künstlerinnen der Klaviergeschichte..wenn nicht die größte!!!
Grandios und einzigartig!
Richter liebte sie nicht umsonst so...!!!
She was the best! Thanks Annie for such joy!
Yes she was great
No such thing as the best in music at this level but this was great.
@@ttrons2 there is in terms of interpretations and how individuals persons perceive them
@@Tesla------US--- did you reply to your own comment?
the Best.
Incredible. A barn-storming performance.
A great artist . Wish she were better known.
Great interpretation of this sonata

Maravillosa Interpretación de ANNIE FISCHER. Muy recomendable su integral de Sonatas de BETHOVEN.
Annie Fisher's cristal sound DIVINE

jamás escuhé una versión más contundente como esta..Excelente !
Just amazing, one of the best interpretations I am aware of...
Breathtaking...

Thank you so much for the upload. It means a lot
I'd hold her as one of the greatest players ever, irrespective of gender.
Excluding beethoven, rachmaninoff, liszt and Chopin, I put her 2nd to backhaus
electrifying!!! Wonderful
Keeps me nailed to my seat from beginning to end.
Oh my goodness what a beautiful beautiful artist she is❤❤❤❤❤
Truly passionate.
Una pianista mucho más moderna que muchos nombres del presente. Grandes lecturas, imprescindibles.

She looks like a very severe & hard taskmaster ! Her gaze demands excellence and one can hear it in her playing

Eine wundervolle Künstlerin. Danke fürs hochladen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
That was brilliant!
Wonderful rendition !
Thanks a lot
*Impassioned!*
...to je to...Bravo!
Merci .
My favorite Beethoven performer is Backhaus, but she is very close
I prefer her appasionata purely for the fact that she plays the repeat in the 3rd movement
Even Beethoven could not have played this more like himself.
OMG! TDF!!!
And only 36000 listened to it?? I dare say it was better than Barenboim's .
It's a whole lot better than his interpretation
I think its the best Appasionata i have ever listened to
@Konstantin Ridaya Backhaus' version as well as Fischers are in my opinion better than hers, other than that though Id probably agree
That's not saying much.

Jesus H Christ!
Ça devient l'horreur les pubs.
Absolutely mediocre movements 1&2, and the finale is a masterpiece! How can this be possible?
It's your own opinion, so obviously only you can answer.
Well as far as I'm concerned all 3 were fantastic so you'll have to work that one out yourself
Her sound is not deep enough.
Denis Plutalov Maybe your brain isn't deep enough.
LISTEN TO MARIA YUDINA AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!
I'd be very interested in listening to Maria Yudina's interpretation of the Appassionata which you obviously believe to be so vastly superior to Annie Fischer's. It must be an extraordinary performance. Please give me details of where you heard it. Thanks.
I love her style of playing. She is one of the best.
What is it like then?
TOO FAST.
No. Maybe for you
