一位不太知名的莫扎特演奏家丨英国钢琴家卡瑟琳·隆（Kathleen Long）
这位钢琴家并不太出名（她的姓氏让人想起法国著名的钢琴教母玛格丽特·隆，名字则让人想起歌唱家卡瑟琳·费莉尔），中文世界也基本找不到简介，但QQ音乐可以听到她的七张专辑。今天恰好是她的忌日，我们来听一下她的演奏。从QQ收录的曲目上看，她主要以莫扎特的协奏曲为主，还包括一些海顿、斯卡拉蒂，也演奏了不少福雷（Gabriel Fauré）的作品，比如说夜曲，值得一听。
这里给大家提供一个英文的简介：Long（7 July 1896 – 20 March 1968）was born in Brentford, a London suburb.She was a child prodigy and appeared in public at the age of eight; her London debut took place in the Aeolian Hall in 1915. From 1910 to 1916 she studied with Herbert Sharpe at the Royal College of Music in London. She herself was a teacher at the College from 1920 to 1964;her pupils included Imogen Holst（写作《行星组曲》的Gustav Theodore Holst的女儿）.
她的合作对象包括：She was a regular performer at the CEMA concerts during World War II, often with the violinist Eda Kersey. Others with whom she frequently appeared were Pablo Casals, Albert Sammons and Guilhermina Suggia, but her longest working partnership was with the violinist Antonio Brosa with whom she collaborated between 1948 and 1966.Her tours included Europe, North America and South Africa.
