Extractions: PianoForte "Sie spielen nicht wie ein Pianist, sondern wie ein Mensch." Diejenigen, die dem Fetisch der technischen Perfektion huldigen, kamen bei Kempffs Konzerten selten auf ihre Kosten. Es gab Abende, da ging ihm alles daneben, was nur daneben gehen konnte, aber der durchdringenden gestalterischen Idee tat dies keinen Abbruch. Kempff vertraute der Eingebung des Augenblicks: "Ich habe nie viel geübt und tue es heute überhaupt nicht mehr. Ich komme nie auf die Idee, ich könnte beim Spiel auf dem Podium einmal herauskommen. Das ist eine Gabe, die ich den Göttern sehr danke – wie ich auch nie Angst vor dem Auftreten hatte." Alte Testament der Pianisten , Bachs Wohltemperiertes Klavier, auswendig in alle Tonarten zu transponieren. Waldszenen Masse (selbst die eines Sinfonieorchesters) war ihm immer ein Greuel. Er hat den Menschen Musik gegeben, aber ihrem Leben hat er sich entzogen. Nicht einmal die politischen Unbilden seines Jahrhunderts konnten ihm etwas anhaben. Vielfach kolportiert ist sein Ausspruch:

Kempff still performed at the age of 80 with his friend Leonard Bernstein in New York City. The friendship between the two has developed after the Second World War. Bernstein praised the German: "He is one of the most interesting personalities I ever met in my life." After 1945 Kempff lived in Ammerland near Munich. His adopted home became the Italian town Positano near Naples, where he suffered a stroke. Kempff was a pianist with an unmistakable, unique touch. His interpretations of piano works of the classic and romantic styles were always stamped with a highly personal style. With the pianist Cortot, also Kempff played at the opening of a great art exhibition of his friend Arno Breker in the Orangerie in Paris in 1942 in front of an international audience. Kempff is immortalized in a magnificent bronze bust by Breker. Kempff grew up in Potsdam, studied music in Berlin and received there a thorough education as a pianist. Already in the 20's he began with an extensive touring activity which took him around the world. He performed in Japan as well as in South America and in the United States. To his friends belonged Eugen d'Albert, Georg Kulenkampff, Edwin Fischer and the legendary pianistin Elly Ney. Together with Roger Peyrefitte, Ernst Fuchs, Ronald Reagan, Dr. Uta Ranke-Heinemann, Salvador Dali and other personalities, also Kempff belonged to the Order of Alexander the Great for Science and Art.
