WALTER SUSSKIND AND WARWICK BRAITHWAITE CONDUCTORS
Dame Moura Lympany DBE (18 August 1916 – 28 March 2005) was an English concert pianist.
She was born as Mary Gertrude Johnstone at Saltash, Cornwall. Her father was an army officer who had served in World War I and her mother originally taught her the piano. Mary was sent to a convent school in Belgium, where her musical talent was encouraged, and she went on to study at Liège, later winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London.
From the mid-1980s she was based in Monaco. Moura - Her Autobiography, written with her cousin, author Margot Strickland, was published by Peter Owen in 1991.
In 1992 she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE). She also received honours from the Belgian, French, and Portuguese governments.
Dame Moura Lympany died in Gorbio near Menton, France, in 2005, aged 88. Her archive was deposited in the International Piano Archive at the University of Maryland, College Park.
A succession of reissues of Lympany archive recordings has contributed to both maintaining her reputation and introducing her to post-LP generations including CDs issued by Dutton (Mozart K.414 and K.467), Ivory Classics (Mendelssohn, Litolff, Liszt), Olympia (Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev), Pristine Audio (Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No. 2) and Testament (Rachmaninoff Preludes).
