Info for Weber, Beethoven & Brahms: Orchestral Works (Live - Remastered)

Following on from the last Knappertsbusch release of a programme of pure Beethoven featuring Backhaus and the Vienna Philharmonic dating from 1954, Orfeo's new album offers a recording of an entire concert performed in 1962. This recording features Geza Anda and the Cologne Radio Orchestra, one of the few concert orcehstras that Knappertsbusch conducted at the time apart from the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, and using the highly professional recording technology of Westdeutscher Rundfunk. The programme of this concert is again a Beethoven piano concerto, the passionate Third in C minor. The pianist Geza Anda, then aged 41, was the diametric opposite as a performer to the 74-year-old Hans knappertsbusch.
