Extractions: Munich - The famous pianist Wilhelm Kempff has died at the age of 95 in Positano, Italy. The city government announced the death of the piano virtuoso on Friday, May 24, 1991. Kempff still performed at the age of 80 with his friend Leonard Bernstein in New York City. The friendship between the two has developed after the Second World War. Bernstein praised the German: "He is one of the most interesting personalities I ever met in my life." After 1945 Kempff lived in Ammerland near Munich. His adopted home became the Italian town Positano near Naples, where he suffered a stroke. Kempff was a pianist with an unmistakable, unique touch. His interpretations of piano works of the classic and romantic styles were always stamped with a highly personal style. With the pianist Cortot, also Kempff played at the opening of a great art exhibition of his friend Arno Breker in the Orangerie in Paris in 1942 in front of an international audience. Kempff is immortalized in a magnificent bronze bust by Breker. Kempff grew up in Potsdam, studied music in Berlin and received there a thorough education as a pianist. Already in the 20's he began with an extensive touring activity which took him around the world. He performed in Japan as well as in South America and in the United States. To his friends belonged Eugen d'Albert, Georg Kulenkampff, Edwin Fischer and the legendary pianistin Elly Ney. Together with Roger Peyrefitte, Ernst Fuchs, Ronald Reagan, Dr. Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Salvador Dali and other personalities, also Kempff belonged to the Order of Alexander the Great for Science and Art.

Extractions: Some artists open us to entire universes, initiating mental, emotional and spiritual explorations that transcend the level of technical perfection. Wilhelm Kempff was such an artist. This priceless disc, available from www.qualiton.com , features the great pianist in his sole Salzburg Festival concert, held in the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria on July 31, 1958. While Kempff commercially recorded the first selection, Schumann's Fantasie in C Major, Op. 17, these are the only documents of two works central to his career, Beethoven's Six Bagatelles, Op. 126 and Brahms' Sonata in F, Op. 5 . Recorded when the pianist was 63 years old and at the height of his powers, what the mono recording lacks in midrange richness it more than delivers in poetic interpretation. Kempff was schooled in the 19th century tradition, a method of interpretation that allowed far more poetic license, rubato, and shading than is normally encountered on today's stages. The man was born when enough of the milieu that spawned these compositions was intact to enable him to understand these works on the deepest levels. As a result, his interpretations of core romantic repertoireBeethoven, Schubert, Schumann, and Brahmssing with a heartfelt truth that makes them highly prized. Thankfully, Austria was blessed with several critics who witnessed the effect this performance had on Kempff's audience. Here is the assessment of Otto Sertl as recorded in the
