Géza Anda (Hungarian pronunciation: ['ge?z? '?nd?]; 19 November 1921 – 14 June 1976) was a Swiss-Hungarian pianist.
A celebrated interpreter of classical and romantic repertoire, particularly noted for his performances and recordings of Mozart, he was also a tremendous interpreter of Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms and Bartók. In his heyday he was regarded as an amazing artist, possessed of a beautiful, natural and flawless technique that gave his concerts a unique quality.
But since his death in 1976 at the age of fifty-four, his high reputation has faded somewhat from view.
Most of his recordings were made on the Deutsche Grammophon label.
