 Wilhelm Backhaus Soloist


Recorded ’live’ in the Beethovenhalle in 1959! Well known for his interpretations and recordings of Beethoven, Mozart and Brahms, Wilhelm Backhaus was much admired as a chamber musician. This 1959 concert gives us the rare opportunity to hear Backhaus ‘live’ in the Beethovenhalle in Bonn in a typical programme of Schubert and Beethoven including the mighty Hammerklavier.  According to the pianist and Beethoven specialist Stephen Kovacevich, Backhaus was the only pianist to have understood the work.
“He projected incontrovertible authority...The Op.10 sonata is very attractive and the piano sings in the Schubert Impromptu.   Clean mono sound.”
