German woman classical pianist
Hertha Klust (1907 – March 1970) was a German pianist.
Career
Born in Berlin, Klust, who had trained as a singer (mezzo-soprano), worked from 1949, despite increasing hearing loss, as a répétiteur at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, where she musically formed a number of later important singers, including Pilar Lorengar. In the concert hall, she made a name for herself above all as a song accompanist. Besides Ernst Haefliger and Josef Greindl, she accompanied the young Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, which is documented by numerous radio and vinyl recordings of the 1950s. The joint concert activity with Fischer-Dieskau began as early as July 1948 in the Berlin Titania-Palast with a rendition of Schubert's Die schöne Müllerin and continued into the late 1950s.
In 1954 Klust was presented the Berliner Kunstpreis.
