The Great Myra Hess

Описание к видео The Great Myra Hess

Myra Hess (1890-1965) plays her very famous arrangement of Bach's Chorale "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".
Her favourite anecdote relating to "Jesu, Joy" concerned a British soldier who whistled it on a train during the war.
"Are you interested in Bach?", the soldier was asked by a journalist.
"No", he answered.
"But you are whistling a Bach composition", the newsman insisted.
"That's no Bach", he replied indignantly. "That's Myra Hess."
(From Marian McKenna's "Myra Hess -- A Portrait")
