Ania Dorfmann was one of the Juilliard School’s most venerated piano teachers. Her considerable accomplishments as a recording artist, however, are finally receiving their due with a 9-CD original-jacket albums collection encompassing her complete recordings for RCA Victor.
With this release, the vast majority of Dorfmann’s RCA recordings are reissued on 8 compact discs for the first time, transferred, mixed and mastered from the original analogue master discs and tapes, using 24 bit / 192 kHz technology. These include long sought-after rarities such as her rare 1939 rendition of the “Choral Fantasy” with Arturo Toscanini, Beethoven’s “Moonlight” and “Pathétique” Sonatas, concertos by Grieg and Mendelssohn, works of Schumann, Chopin and Tchaikovsky, and one of the first complete editions of Mendelssohn’s Songs without Words. Apparently Dorfmann was the first female piano soloist to collaborate with Arturo Toscanini, and their historic 1945 studio recording of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 marked the start of the of the pianist’s relationship with RCA.
ABOUT ANIA DORFMANN Born in Odessa, Russia on July 9, 1899, Ania Dorfmann gave her first concert at age 11, and also accompanied a younger fellow child prodigy, violinist Jascha Heifetz. In 1916/7 Dorfmann studied in Paris with Isidor Philipp at the Conservatoire. Later she based herself in London. Her New York debut took place at Town Hall in 1936. After settling in New York two years later, Dorfmann was invited by Arturo Toscanini in 1939 to perform Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy with the NBC Symphony Orchestra, the only occasion on which he performed this work. In addition to her concert tours, Dorfmann also worked in Hollywood, where her pre-recorded playing is mimed on screen by Barbara Stanwyck in the 1947 film The Other Love. In the 1950s Dorfmann joined the Juilliard School of Music Faculty, where she maintained a busy teaching career until her retirement in June 1983. Dorfmann passed away at her Manhattan apartment on April 21, 1984.
