Wer war Maryla Jonas? Selbst ausgewiesene Klavierexperten geraten da ins Grübeln. Dabei besitzt die gebürtige Polin eine faszinierende Geschichte. Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges musste die damals 29-jährige Pianistin aus ihrem Heimatland fliehen. Und das ausgerechnet erst zu Fuß (!) nach Berlin (!!) und von dort dann nach Brasilien, wo sie erstmal nicht mehr auftrat, bis ihr Landsmann Artur Rubinstein sie zu Konzerten überreden konnte – und nach erfolgreichen Rezitals in der New Yorker Carnegie Hall winkte die Plattenfirma, Aufnahmen und Auftritte folgten, doch eine Krankheit zwang sie zum vorzeitigen Rückzug. Sie starb 1959.
Geblieben sind legendäre Einspielungen aus den Jahren 1946 bis 1953, vor allem von Chopins Mazurken und Nocturnes. Legendär deshalb, weil sie einerseits äußerst rar sind. Sie erscheinen hier erstmals auf CD. Und andererseits dokumentieren sie interpretatorisch in ihrer von Eleganz ummantelten Ausdruckskraft eine singuläre Stimme. Maryla Jonas sämtliche Aufnahmen erscheinen auf insgesamt 4 CDs, mit einem ausführlichen Essay und wurden aufwändig remastered.
Product Information
Maryla Jonas, Polish-born concert pianist, made her debut as a child prodigy in Warsaw at the age of 9 and became a pupil of Ignacy Jan Paderewski. She won an International Chopin Prize in 1922 and the Beethoven Prize of Vienna the next year. She was in bombed-out Warsaw when it was captured by the Nazis, but escaped in 1940, a feat that was described later as "miraculous." Walking day and night, she traveled 325 miles to the Brazilian Embassy in Berlin. From there, Jonas went to Rio de Janeiro, where her married sister, Mrs. Bertha Holin, then lived, and entered a sanitarium. Later she heard that her first husband, a noted criminologist, her parents and a brother had been killed in Poland. In Rio, Miss Jonas gave up playing for months. It has been said that her fellow countryman, Arthur Rubinstein, induced her to return to the piano. She toured South America to obtain funds to come to New York. Almost five years after her debut at Carnegie Hall in February, 1946, Miss Jonas fainted in the wings of the same hall after leaving the stage part way through her performance of Schumann's "Carnaval". She recovered quickly and completed her program. Her illness forced her temporary retirement, but in December, 1956, she gave what was to be her last recital at Carnegie Hall. Maryla Jonas died on the 3rd of July, 1959 at her home of a rare blood disease that had hindered her career in recent years. Her age was 48. The first ever release of Maryla Jonas’s complete recordings for Columbia from 1946 to 1953 on 4 CDs, remastered from the original analogue discs and tapes using 24 bit / 192 kHz technology. Her legendary Chopin recordings on 3 CDs, underneath here renditions of Mazurkas, which are amongst the finest interpretations of these works. Informative booklet with a new essay, facsimile images and full discographical details. Facsimile LP-sleeves and -labels.
Reviews
»Das digitale Remake dürfte Maryla Jonas nun auch hierzulande späte und bewundernde Anerkennung sichern. Denn vor allem ihre Interpretationen der Chopin-Mazurken besitzen schier singulären Rang.« (Fono Forum, Januar 2018)Disk 1 von 1 (CD)
