Maria Curcio - Fulfilling a Legacy
The legendary pianist
Artur Schnabel was part of a tradition of pianist/teachers that can be traced directly back to Beethoven.
Today his most gifted pupil, Maria Curcio , lives in London but never performs. In the first of two specials
Michael Berkeley traces the events of the Second World War which made it impossible for her to pursue a concert career, but which led to her becoming one of the most sought-after teachers of the post-war generation, thereby fulfilling the Schnabel legacy.
With contributions from Carlo Maria Giulini
Barry Douglas , Mirella Freni and Peter Diamand. Lighting DENNIS BUTCHER Assistant producer
DAVID M. JACKSON. Produced by HILARY BOULDlNG. BBC Scotland
