About the artist Geza Anda

The son of amateur musicians, Anda entered the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest at the age of thirteen. His most important teacher was Ern? Dohnányi, with whom he spent his last two years at the Academy. At the age of nineteen Anda won the Liszt Prize, which led to his debut with the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra under Willem Mengelberg with Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 Op. 83. After graduating from the Liszt Academy in 1941, at Wilhelm Furtwängler’s suggestion Anda went to Berlin for further study. He gave his Berlin debut with Furtwängler and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra playing the Variations Symphoniques by César Franck. Friends helped him to escape to Switzerland to avoid conscription into the Hungarian army. He settled in Zürich and after the end of World War II spent a period of time in Paris, absorbing French music and culture under the guidance of Pierre Souvchinsky. He gave some concerts in Paris and gradually expanded his career, performing in Scandinavia, England and Israel. Anda first appeared at the Salzburg Festival in 1952, and over the next twenty-three years performed there nineteen times with orchestra and gave eight solo recitals. His reputation gradually grew, helped by his recordings for Columbia. In November 1955 he made his orchestral debut in New York with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Eugene Ormandy, again with Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 Op. 83, and he gave his New York recital debut a few weeks later. He then made the first of his fifteen tours of the USA, playing with many of the great American orchestras. From the early 1960s Anda worked with the Camerata Academica, a group of performing musicians comprising members of the Salzburg Mozarteum. Anda conducted them from the keyboard and they played all Mozart’s piano concertos (with Anda’s own cadenzas) as they toured parts of Europe in the 1960s. They recorded all the concertos for Deutsche Grammophon between 1967 and 1972. In 1970 Anda took part in the Mostly Mozart Festival in New York where he directed the New York Chamber Orchestra from the keyboard, and in 1971 he made major tours of America, Canada and South Africa. Six years later, at the age of fifty-four, Anda died, struck down by cancer, although he managed to give concerts up to a few months before his death.
