"It seems fitting that the great Hungarian pianist Annie Fischer should have died while listening to a broadcast performance of Bach's St John Passion. Until her final years she was an inveterate concert- and opera-goer. Fischer's profound love of music and her enthusiasm for life were reflected in her playing. She communicated great physical, emotional and spiritual energy, warmth and generosity" (The Independent). Today we hear Fischer tackling the mature emotions of Beethoven's Sonata Op. 26, known as "Les Adieux", with her typical combination of the intellectual and the humane, in a legendary recording not released until after her death - a testament to her reluctance to release recordings begun nearly twenty years earlier, because she was never totally satisfied with the result. In fact, she was said to hate the recording process, but the high quality of her rarely released interpretations made them even more sought after by collectors.
