Lili Kraus (piano)About
During the 1930s she toured widely and recorded with the legendary violinist Szymon Goldberg, later taking up British citizenship. However, she unwisely chose to continue playing overseas after the outbreak of war and, whilst playing in Indonesia in 1942, she was interned by the Japanese. Based in Paris and Vienna during the 1950s, Kraus recorded prolifically for several labels, most notably works by Mozart, Bach, Schubert and Beethoven with Willi Boskovsky, Jean-Pierre Rampal and others.
Her piano playing was often described as exuberant and vivacious; these qualities were passed on to her many pupils in the USA, where she taught from 1967.
Recorded 1953-1954, all items available for the first time on CD.
