Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Clara Haskil, who died in 1960, was a connoisseur's pianist. She specialized in the Classical era and rarely played showpieces. Her relatively few recordings are still treasured by collectors. These two Mozart Concerti, seconded by a fine conductor, are so subtly played they sound almost dull at first; they certainly aren't recommended to people who like their Mozart boisterous. Listened to with respect, the performances--and the music--gradually reveal their secrets. The Sonata, recorded in stereo, is beautifully performed and more vivid in sound. --Leslie Gerber

- A real musical treasure!

Clara Haskil was an extraordinary artist. She represents Mozart spirit per excellence. Her nuance, rapture and absolute domain of the Mozartian language is more than obvious when you listen very carefully every one of her different interpretations. In the case of the Concert No. 19 , a minor Concert in the universe of Mozart's Giants Piano Concertos, she extracts all the possible essence , giving to this Rhapsodic Concert the Operatic character so well accented in the last movement. But realize as she elevates this Andante to unimaginable levels.

Despite the fact she played some Mozart piano Concertos with Markevitch, she established with Ferenc Fricsay an invisible and evident rapport you miss in Igor.

Honesty, conviction and above all a profound devotion ... Read More

- Desert Island Mozart
This is an absolutely delightful recording, one that a listener wouldn't hesitate to take it with him or her to a desert-island. Clara Haskil, one of the handful of truly great artists of the 20th century, captures the spirit of the composer as no one else does. Moreover, in Fricsay, she finds a perfectly sympathetic partner completely in one with her in reaching to the heart of the music. More sublime music making than this is really difficult to imagine. Buy this disc and you will have a life-long companion that warms the heart and soothes the soul.

- Haskil's Mozart Shines
This is a wonderful CD of Mozart's piano music by Clara Haskil, with the Berlin Philharmonic under the direction of Ferenc Fricsay. Haskil tackles the 19th Concerto, one of Mozart's greatest, with glowing results, and Mozart's final 27th concerto is also captured beautifully, and in particular the mood of the finale. The recordings of the two piano concertos are both in mono, but they sound magnificent. The final piece, Piano Sonata K280, is a stereo recording from 1960, and it was Haskil's final session for DG. (She died six months later as a result of a fall at the Brussels-Midi railway station.) As the editorial review states, Clara Haskil may have been a connoisseur's pianist, but let me tell you, I'm no connoisseur (though I aspire to be) and I love this disc.
