Happy 8th of March. Introducing woman pianist Myra Hess.

Myra Hess
　　　1890年出生於英國倫敦，1965年逝於倫敦。海絲在市政廳音樂院向帕斯卡〈JulianPascal〉與摩根〈Orlando Morgan〉學琴，十二歲得到皇家音樂院獎學金師從馬太〈Tobias Matthay〉，1907年首度在倫敦登台演出。這場音樂會是由海絲自己籌劃，在畢勤〈Thomas Beecham〉的指揮下演出貝多芬第四號鋼琴協奏曲等作品，展開她在英國與歐洲大陸間成功的演奏事業。海絲從1922年開始在美國演出，受到當地樂迷特別的喜愛；二次大戰期間，海絲在倫敦國家美術館舉辦的午餐音樂會也讓人留下深刻的印象。由於對英國大眾的服務與頁獻，英國皇室策封她為爵士。第二次世界大戰結束後，海絲把自己廣泛的獨奏及室內樂演奏曲目縮小至巴赫〈她改編自巴赫作品的鋼琴曲《耶穌，為人仰望的喜樂》名聞全世界〉，史卡拉第、維也納古典樂派曲目、舒曼、肖邦、布拉姆斯、法朗克、葛利格與德布西。在海絲的音樂成就中，最傑出的莫過於降低古典風格的浪漫傾向，改向大眾推介純粹、不矯飾的樸素演奏風格。
