Ludwig van Beethoven Sonata No, 32 in C minor Op. 111 I. Maestoso - Allegro con brio e appassionato II. Arietta. Adagio molto semplice e cantabile Elly Ney rec. 1968
Ich erlebte Elly Ney in den 60er Jahren mehrere Male im Konzert. Es war für mich immer eine Offenbarung. Niemand sonst hat mir in meiner Jugend Beethoven, aber auch Schubert, Schumann und Brahms so eindrucksvoll nahegebracht wie sie.
In fact this was Elly Ney's musical testament. Her last recording together with sonata op.110. Two weeks later Elly Ney was dead. Her recording of the Hammerklaviersonate was left unfinished.
wonderful. the most convincing realization of 'beethoven' i've heard. so thoughtful, as though i were hearing beethoven play this for himself. thank you very much for posting this. i'd never heard her and now i want to hear everything she recorded.
I love this piece. I had heard the middle before but never the first and last part. It was nice to find out that I enjoyed it all the way through with different reasons for each part. Thank you for posting it.
Trotz unseliger Verstrickungen in die NS-Kulturpolitik - "ein Erdenrest zu tragen peinlich" - war Elly Ney eine der bedeutendsten Pianistinnen ihrer Zeit. Ihr Beethoven hatte eine Größe, die andere vergeblich zu erreichen versuchten, bei den langsamen Sätzen von Appassionata und Opus 111 weitete sich der Konzertsaal zur Kathedrale ...
Hat sie irgendwas anderes als Mozart, Beethoven und Schubert gespielt? Nein? Bedeutende Pianisten haben dann doch eine etwas größere Bandbreite an Repertoire. Abgesehen davon, dass sie eine Nazi-Tante war.
Discussions about Nazi's has nothing to do with this performance. We cannot throw out the baby with the bathwater; Where does forgiveness come in? This is a moving performance. Grow up, all of you.
Je vous soutiens dans votre jugement. Heureusement que je connais l'oeuvre, car parfois je me demandais ce qu'elle jouait, surtout lors du premier mouvement.
Beethoven the 1st jazz musician? One of the greatest piano virtuosos of the last century was Elly Ney. She had her greatest successes between 1900 and 1930 in America as an interpreter of the works of Ludwig Van Beethoven. Your role model “L.V. B: “was a musical revolutionary. In 1968 Elly Ney played Beethoven's Sonata Opus 111 (a revolutionary work in Beethoven's time) 14 days before her death. From 5:10 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. Elly Ney swings like colored jazz musicians in Beethoven's sonata! Was Beethoven the first jazz musician? I don't understand why Elly Ney joined the NSDAP at that time ?? !! Unfortunately, like almost all Germans, she was fascinated by A. Hitler, who sold himself as a revolutionary during the global economic crisis. Unfortunately, she did not recognize the difference between left and right (life and death). But history seems to be repeating itself again in the US, where many Americans let themselves be captured by the racist Donald Trump. The Americans should be proud of their musical culture, which was invented by colored musicians (jazz, R&B, rock and world music) and has found its way into all countries on earth. Black Lives Better!

this is just wonderful ...she was 86 when she recorded that !!
85½ to be precise ;-)
@@metteholm4833 extraordinary. This is the performance i grew up with: picked the LP up in a shop near Freiburg when i was about 11 :)
The greatest, most revelatory performance of this I ever hope to hear, one of the greatest piano performances ever captured by a microphone.

Diese Aufnahme wie auch das Adagio aus Op. 106 sind Elly Neys musikalisches Vermächtnis - ein Monument ihrer künstlerischen Größe.

Fantastic interpretation ! Thank you !!

Geradezu hinreißend. Weitaus die ergreifendste Einspielung dieser Sonate, daß ich je erfahren habe. Vielen Dank!

National Socialism is against Capitalism and Communism, it has the best social welfare system, it only lost the War, study the history

She is telling a great, deep story here.
She is incapable of doing this piece justice, given her support for the Nazi regime.
Thank you.
What an excelent harpege!!
Her playing sounds like giving instruction to students like myself.
Brava! Brava!
Elly she's the boss. If you are better then send in your recordings.
GRAZIE

THANK YOU, STEVE!
Ask the victims of the holocaust about forgiveness, for someone who never recanted her support for Hitler.
Non so se era nazi so solo che fu una immensa pianista in grado di far rifulgere un immenso capolavoro
Yes, Elly Ney was a nazi, and she was an anti-semite. After the war, she became an embarrasment for Germany.
Si,era una nazi
Oh, if only we were allowed to hear the fragments of the Hammerklavier, she didn´t get to finish....
mette holm the third movement is here on UA-cam - another deep story is being told.
UA-cam! Shame on you - interrupting a recording like this with bla-bla-bla ads! Disgusting!
👍🏿 5/2022..... Elly Ney??...Well....... "I Live and Learn"...✍🏿🇻🇨
Is that Wilhelm Kempff with her in the photograph?
Yes.
JA

Look her up on Google and watch pictures. She looks almost scaringly strong.
Hier hat Google Übersetzer natürlich einen Fehler gemacht: Es muss heißen: From 17:10 to 19:50 Elly ....
ahahah....it's true...!!
Is that Kempf looking on?
46
She looks like Kempff's sister....:-)
Better here or in 1936?

Jazz musician my arse. Beethoven was Beethoven.
Joseph Goebbels right hand. Died 80 years too late.
Die übliche Idiotie. Elly Neys außergewöhnlicher Beethoven-Interpret
Tempo insupportable et injustifiable; phrasés ridicules (not ridiculous: ridicules)
