Played by GERDA NETTE
GERDA NETTE is
'J one of the outstanding young artists of Germany. When only fifteen she was chosen as the best pupil in the Leipzig Conservatoire Master
Class to play a concerto at a special concert in celebration of the Jubilee of the Institution. Three years later she played the solo portion of Hindemith's Concerto when Scherchen gave the first performance of this work in Leipzig. A year later she achieved great success at the 'Gewandhaus' concert with Furtwangler, and from that time onwards, her reputation has extended throughout the Continent. In Continental training Handel and Bach form the bread and butter of the pianist's upbringing, and Miss Nette, who is still only in her twenty-first year, is an admirable exponent of Handel's music.
