Lili Kraus Vanguard Collection

[Machine Translation] This set contains all the treasures left to Vanguard by the famous flower Klaus. This is the second boxed set in the Vanguard Vanguard Masterpieces series. Lily Krauss ( 1908-1986 ) was born in Hungary and was a pianist active mainly in Vienna before and after World War II. During World War II, she was detained by the Japanese Army in Java while on a performance tour. However, until he was released from house arrest at the end of the war, he was provided with a piano by a Japanese musician who had been drafted into the military, and perhaps because of this, he became a Japanophile after the war and made numerous visits to Japan. Among deceased artists, she is one of the most beloved female pianists among Japanese people. She made many recordings for Pathe-EMI, VOX, and CBS-SONY from the monaural era, and the Schubert and Bartok recordings she left for Vanguard are highly acclaimed as "excellent" recordings of the same pieces.

名花クラウスがヴァンガードに遺した至宝のすべてをこのセットで。ヴァンガード Vanguard 名盤選シリーズのBOX第2弾。リリー・クラウス(1908-1986)はハンガリーに生まれ、戦前・戦後のウィーンを中心に活躍したピアニスト。第二次世界大戦中に演奏旅行の途上、ジャワで日本軍に拘束された。しかし、終戦によって軟禁状態を解かれるまで、軍人として召集されていた日本人音楽関係者からピアノを提供されるなど可能な限りの配慮を受けたためか、戦後は日本びいきとなり、幾度となく来日を果たした。物故アーティストの中では日本人がもっとも愛する女流ピアニストの一人。モノラル時代からパテEMI、VOX、CBS=SONYに数多くの録音を行なったが、このヴァンガードに遺したシューベルトとバルトークは、同曲の決定盤として「絶品」の誉れ高い演奏。
