More about the book
The book delves into the life and influence of Isolde Ahlgrimm, a key figure in reviving Baroque and Classical keyboard instruments in Vienna and beyond. Peter Watchorn highlights her innovative performances that contrasted sharply with contemporary interpretations, particularly those of Wanda Landowska. Ahlgrimm's pivotal role in the harpsichord and fortepiano revival, along with her impact on inspiring future musicians like Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt, has largely been neglected in the broader musical narrative.
