Dame Myra Hess in a lunchtime concert at the National Gallery plays the opening movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata in F minor, Op 57. During the war years, and the blitz, Dame Myra Hess organized over a thousand concerts at the National Gallery. The Gallery had removed all their paintings, keeping just one on display each month as thousands of folks (many not regular concert goers) came to hear, be inspired, and maybe gain a little hope by these wartime concerts. Andrew Dickson wrote in his blog at the "Guardian": "the monumental Appassionata - always associated in my mind with a wartime film of Myra Hess at the National Gallery, playing those crashing F minor chords at with a stubborn intensity that takes on all the death and mayhem around."

OMG! The best performance of the appassionata I've ever heard. I just listen from the first note to the end with full of surprise. Another great performance of Hess is the Schubert big Bb sonata from Live at the University of Illinois.

If Beethoven wrote an erotic symphany I'd like to hear it. "The Eroica"'s not too bad either.

Thank you so much for this. When I was a girl during the war, I used to go to the National Gallery for the concerts. She was just wonderful. So moving. I'm sorry to say that I also remember the delicious sandwiches as much as the music.

Be careful on your fingering, on the trills.
