Career
Ania Dorfmann was born in Odessa, Russia (now Ukraine), in 1899, the daughter of a merchant. She appeared in her first concert at the age of 11. She accompanied Jascha Heifetz, who was even younger at the time. Isidor Philipp at the Conservatoire de Paris studied in 1916-17, then returned to Russia to find it in the midst of the revolution. She returned to France in 1920, began her career in Belgium, and spent the next 15 years in Europe and the United Kingdom under Willem Mengelberg, Sir Thomas Beecham, and Sir Henry Wood. During this period, she lived in London. John McCormack and Heddle Nash were two of the artists she performed with in the United Kingdom.
She made her New York debut in 1936 at the Town Hall and appeared again in 1938 and 1939. She was the first female pianist to perform as a soloist by Arturo Toscanini, under whom she appeared in Beethoven's Choral Fantasy with his NBC Symphony Orchestra on December 2, 1939, the first time Toscanini had ever scheduled such a soloist. They appeared in all Beethoven piano recitals and recorded the First Concerto in 1945 (there is also a recording of a live performance from 1939). In 1938, she began touring and recording in the United States. David Rubin, her agent at the time, was a librarian. Viva Koussevitzky's appearances included concerts.
Ania Dorfmann worked closely with Barbara Stanwyck, who was filming The Other Love, in which she appeared as a concert pianist, in 1947. Even though Ania Dorfmann appeared on screen, Stanwyck had a three-hour rehearsal to make her behavior match the music.
She joined the Juilliard School's piano faculty in 1956 (some sources state 1966), where she stayed for the majority of her life. Lev Natochenny, Solveig Funseth, Minuetta Kessler, Raymond Jackson, Suezenne Fordham, Robert Shannon, and Marian Migdal were among Ania Dorfmann's pupils.
She retired in June 1983 and died on April 21, 1984, at the age of 84.
