. . . for [Alice Herz-Sommer] reproduction is actually creation; she identifies with the work and its creator. She contributes her eminent technique and great knowledge to the service of the work; she does not belong to the world of piano devils for whom virtuosity is both a goal and a form of self-satisfaction; she has more warmth than flashiness, more innate quality than brio. In the last few years her style has markedly clarified and developed; for this highly-gifted artist was once a virtuoso who specialized in temperament herself. From what everyone says she was made for the romantics, and this is true. She is perfectly accomplished, for example, when she plays the indescribably lovely final movement of the C major Fantasy, Schumannâs Opus 17; this gliding, rapturous piece of high romanticism slides towards the captive listener and he forgets that in the March Scherzo that preceded it the artist had slipped away from the notion of time; you cannot play this movement too quickly, and this wholly musical interpreter deals with its problems and rhythmic monotony in a natural way. The starkness of the âineffectiveâ Beethoven is close to Alice Herz-Sommerâs heart. In this Sonata Opus 10 No. 3 the Schubertian D minor Largo is always an experience and it was a high point for our musician. At the end Frau Herz-Sommer gave us Smetanaâs Czech Dances: delicious and innocent and with the famous âFuriantâ in which the Czech popular soul meets Franz Liszt.9
