  Lili Kraus

  Lili, emotion leaves me quite dismayed:

  If I'm on fire I call the fire-brigade.

  Your music gave me much; I'll say no more,

  For like the kiwi I decline to soar.

  But in that given and forgiving hour

  I breathed the air where the sonatas flower (Denis Glover)

  Poets exalted, school children cheered and music-lovers hungrily devoured the post-war concerts given in NZ by Hungarian born pianist Lili Kraus. It's 110 years since the birth of the remarkable woman who survived hard labour in the Japanese camps in Indonesia, and afterwards resumed her musical career with renewed vision and passion. Charlotte Wilson presents a tribute to the life and work of Lili Kraus (RNZ)
