    Ingrid Haebler RIP 1929-2023

    Presto reporting she has died at the age of 93. I recall a record of JC Bach piano concertos of which I was very fond as well as her renowned Mozart .

    Oddly enough, I had ordered her recording of two Mozart piano quartets where she is joined by the principals of the Berlin Philharmonic and it arrived the day she died. Based on the fine performances of both quartets I’m very tempted to obtain her ‘big box’.

    RIP.

      Sad to hear of this. I have many of her recordings, particularly of Mozart.

        I believe that she recorded JC Bach on a fortepiano but preferred a modern concert grand in Mozart.
        RIP Ingrid

          One piece have a soft spot for and have permanently in iTunes: Haebler playing K574.

          This YouTube video has Haebler's performance, followed by Tchaikovsky's orchestration from Mozartiana (which I hadn't heard for such a long time I'd quite forgotten its connection with K574). Two minutes of sprightly fun:

          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            I seem to remember that she recorded a box set of JC Bach piano concertos for Philips, played on a Neupert fortepiano.

              Yes :


              (which I had as a boxed set of lps)

              ... but perhaps cheaper as philips duos :

              .


              (which I have as cds)

                Her K number just before -- K573 -- also agreeable.

                  I value her Schubert,,and a set of Mozart violin sonatas with Henryk Szering: well-worth revisiting.

                    Her Mozart Piano Concerto cycle was included in the LP Philips Mozart Edition. Regrettably (for me) it wasn’t carried forward to the 1991 CD edition, where Brendel had the lion’s share.

                    I was lucky enough to hear her play a Mozart concerto live in Manchester in the early ‘70s.

                      That was quite ahead of its time, when you think about it, presumably Melkus' band also playing period instruments ?
                      I now have all of them in the pleasant CPO series with our own Tony playing with The Hanover Band.

                        Times obituary:

                        Ingrid Haebler’s interpretations of Mozart were so delicate that on April 18, 1966, a Dutch tulip at Keukenhof gardens in the Netherlands was named after her.

                          I finally bit the bullet and splashed out on the 57 CD Ingrid Haebler boxset, as I’ve been missing her wonderful Mozart piano concerto set that I once had on LP. Sometimes I’ve been disappointed when I get hold of reissued recordings I’d had in the past, but listen to these performances exceeded expectations.

                            Yes, I have that box set too. Alas, still in its plastic wrapping…
