She reminds me so much of my Polish Grandmother-- she made candies-chocolates to keep the family solvent in the depression. She was FUCKING AWESOME. i remember so little of grandma (Mary) Sandow... but this lady sounds like her. How i wish i could go back 55 years. And just learn from that grandmother. \I'd love to sit under Landowska's Pleyel, head pressed against the frame-- absorbing the sounds pressed against my head. ================ God love this angel, this muse, this inspiration.
I wish she was my grand mother- i remember so little about my real grandmother- but she was so nice- so loving, but not soft. Grandma kept our family solvent through the depression, sheer force of will. If i could go back, i'd spend so much time with her. Landowska's love of music is like grandma's love. Not so much doting, but love of learning. She taught me math. Multiple base math. not really even realizing it. like any grandmother loving her family: Landowska played her instrument better than anyone ever played their instrument. She transferred her soul to her imagination... her atoms were excited and she glowed in the dark... (apologies to Wire)
I loved this so much... thank you for this wonderful post. There's just something better about the old performers of the 40's to 60's that is lacking in our modern virtuosos...it must be heart or imagination or something....I loved her last statement. Wonderful artist and and wonderful woman.
I think some extracts are from the nice Barbara Attie "Uncommon Visionary". Do you know if the last concert was recorded? Maybe AS Discs? As a young admirer, I had the marvelous chance in 2003 to come from France to meet Denise Restout in Lakeville and talk about Wanda Landowska. These moments were absolutely wonderful and so rich in teaching on the Pleyel harpsichord, about the musical life of Wanda Landowska in Saint Leu then in the United States ... She had the great kindness to offer me two historical photos (Saint Leu period) and one period advertisement in favor of RCA ... I keep an intact and very moving memory of these great moments. Thank you for sharing.

a great artist and personality !!!
This is wonderful...just wonderful. I'm sharing it through my own video on Mdme Landowska. Thank you for this gift!
Wow this is amazing!
Thanks for uploading
Just discovered this interesting woman's work.
She was an amazing and inspiring artist. If you ever get the chance, there is a documentary on her titled "Uncommon Visionary," it's very interesting.
For some reason the full half-hour Wisdom show is not on y/t but it's at the Paley Center and it's terrific.
Her comments must be cast in stone.for generations to come.
The English subtitles are a bit hit and miss. They don't pick up "Yasnaya Polyana," the name of Tolstoy's estate, or the Russian word "muzhik."
I'm a great fan of her's. Yet, I'm not convinced her interpretation of the tempo of every Bach piece is correct.
No la cambio con ninguna. .
