Description
Beethoven - Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61
This is certainly one of the rarest and most highly-coveted violin LPs: a live recording with a performance which, through the research of Ernst Lumpe, has been attributed to violinist Gerhard Taschner. Lumpe has this to say about the recording:
"A live performance which is also considered to be played by Gerhard Taschner. This view is again supported by Walter Gerstberger and pupils of Taschner. The soloist in this recording plays the Joachim cadenzas and is accompanied by what undoubtedly is a "big name" orchestra. Taschner indeed played the work publicly on March 19, 1948 in Berlin's Titania-Palast, accompanied by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Leopold Ludwig. Both on the reverse side of the sleeve and on the labels the soloist's name is spelled "Baiachowsky"."
Here we have an even rarer variant on this release: the Royale logo on the front of the sleeve has been covered with a Gramophone logo (Royale's sister company) and the labels on the disc have also been changed to Gramophone. I'm not even sure how scarce this is, having never seen one come up for sale. I am certain, however that you will not find a copy in better condition.
