Myra Hess

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The famous images of Dame Myra Hess defying German bombs during World War II to organize National Gallery concerts or play in the shelters during the raids have become iconic for a time when music making really seemed a matter of life or death. But as integral a part of her time as she was, Hess also managed to distance herself from its penchant for extravagant, juicy, romantic style; she actually anticipated something of the "objective" stance to come from keyboard artists in the future. Her Schumann Carnaval--which has the earliest provenance (1938) on the set and was one of her own favorite recordings--sings its clarified beauties through the distractions of tape hiss with a marvelously clear-headed vision. Hess's limpidity of approach sketches a "Eusebius" and "Florestan" that are not frantic contrasts but surprisingly close in spirit, while Schumann's Bachian lineage is always in evidence (and just listen to her counterpoint in the two Scarlatti gems). Not quite so compelling are the sometimes too sober and controlled 1954 Symphonic Etudes, but a real treasure here is the highly regarded second recording Hess made of the Schumann Concerto (1952) under Rudolf Schwarz: exquisitely mellow and imbued with poetry. Hess was also a commanding Beethoven interpreter, with special insights into the late sonatas. The autumnal breath she weaves into the Opus 109, with its spectacularly executed trills in the quickening of the variations, makes this one of the lasting accounts. The set concludes with Hess's signature arrangement of the chorale from Bach's Cantata 147: sure, steadfast, of moving dignity. --Thomas May

Most Passionate performance.......2007-01-27

An Historic Performance of the Highest Mega-Wattage!.......2003-06-28

The Op. 18 Sextet was my first Brahms chamber music; I bought it in the 1950s when I was a teenager just beginning to collect LPs. A fellow student recommended this recording and when I got it I immediately fell in love--with both the piece and the performance. It didn't take me long to wear it out. I bought a second copy in the early 1960s. I probably was last able to listen to it in the late 1970s; by then playing it sounded like a a family of mice were sandpapering the inside of my speakers.

I've since owned performances of the Sextets by at least four groups--Les Musiciens; a group of Italian string players led by violinist Giuliano Carmignola; The Raphael Ensemble; and a group of Boston Symphony players (my favorite besides this one). But I was 'imprinted' on this performance. Hearing it again, I understand why. For one thing, this Prades Festival group plays it more slowly and with greater warmth; still the Scherzo and the Rondo manage to sound, as Nicolas Slonimsky once said, euphoniously euphorious. The high point, though, as always, is that dazzling set of variations on one of Brahms's most gorgeous tunes, the second movement Andante. As I was listening to it again after all these years, when they got to the cello solo variation, about two minutes from the end of the movement, I found I was suddenly in tears: Casals' ability to sing that tune in a whisper still has that effect on me. Indeed, I defy anyone to hear that passage and remained unmoved.

Let's talk about the musicians participating in the Sextet. They are names to conjure with: Isaac Stern (then only 30), Alexander Schneider (the much-loved 'Sascha,' of the Budapest Quartet and leading light of the Marlboro Festival), Milton Katims (Toscanini's favorite violist, later a wonderful conductor), Milton Thomas (Stokowski's principal violist), Madeline Foley (ah, what an unsung heroine of the cello; she, too, was a fixture at Marlboro, but her career was mostly in teaching), and finally Pau Casals, about whose playing nothing can be added. But as a musical mover and shaker, Casals is of sainted memory. It's not often recalled that early in the 20th-century Brahms wasn't highly regarded outside the German-speaking countries. Casals was one who INSISTED on playing Brahms (another such was Arthur Rubinstein), and indeed he would even sit in the orchestra and play the cello solo in third movement the Second Piano Concerto, something a world-famous soloist wouldn't ordinarily do.

About the Piano Trio, Op. 8: the musicians here are also fabled. Get this: Dame Myra Hess, piano; Isaac Stern, violin; Pau Casals, cello. Oh my. Oh my. Such music-making. And such music. Again, the opening theme of the Trio is one of Brahms most memorable. These three musicians embrace the music (and, figuratively, each other) to make the performance gemütlich, passionate, yearningly romantic.

Both these pieces were recorded at the 1952 Prades Festival, also of fabled memory. What I wouldn't have given to have been there.

So, for those who want truly magnificent historic performances ven though in old sound, this may be the one for you. And thank goodness we can't wear out CDs!

In case, you didn't catch on, I heartily recommend this one.
