The current collection of all of Fritz Busch’s Beethoven recordings made in the United States of America contains but one studio recording, which was not published during Busch’s lifetime – the Violin Concerto recorded at the New York Liederkranz Hall one day after the two public concerts at the Carnegie Hall the previous days. Adolf Busch, the conductor’s brother and soloist of all three performances, disallowed a release due to the problematic balance between soloist and orchestra (and although his problem could not be bettered the overall result has been improved by Andrew Rose), which has however been frequently circulated since – in contrast to the live performance, which was released for the first time only in 2006, by Music \u0026amp; Arts. The Beethoven Concerto is one of the few occasions when we can hear the brothers performing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBusch had already been performing in New York from 1927; his last New York concert is here represented by a performance of the Fifth Symphony, which in the last movement is marred by some loss of several bars, which have here for the first time been re-inserted from another New York performance, from February 1950, under Bruno Walter. Busch’s only surviving Beethoven recording from the West coast is the Overture to Egmont, performed in three subscription concerts in Los Angeles in 1946, part of which was broadcast in the Standard Oil Radio Hour programme. (The complete New York and Los Angeles concerts recordings have been published by Guild Historical.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBusch had bought a small house in Riverdale, New York, early in 1948, when\nhe frequently conducted the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra and\nwas music director of the Metropolitan Opera. While he appeared in several\nNorth American metropoles such as Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland or\nBoston only with the Metropolitan touring company, he was several times a\nguest conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, in 1947 to 1950. The\n1949 broadcast performance of Beethoven’s First Symphony, following a\nconcert performance the previous evening and hitherto misdated in any\npublications, has suffered only limited circulation, here finding its\nproper place in Fritz Busch’s discography for the first time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe bonus file in this collection is one of a total of nine surviving 78s\nsides recorded by Busch and the Orchester des Württembergischen\nLandes-Theaters probably in mid-1919. Busch had attained the position as\nmusic director in Stuttgart in 1918, as successor of Max von Schillings.\nThe music recorded was largely by Mozart (five sides), Reger (three sides,\nextracts from the Mozart Variations), and the Beethoven scherzo. Another\nrecording of the Beethoven (now the complete ‘Eroica’) was only to take\nplace in 1950, when Busch went into the Remington recording studio in\nVienna for some Beethoven, Haydn, and Brahms (for the Brahms cf. PASC570).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eJürgen Schaarwächter\n\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eBuschBrothersArchive in the Max-Reger-Institut, Karlsruhe\n\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBUSCH \u003c\/b\u003econducts Beethoven in the USA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDISC ONE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eBEETHOVEN \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eEgmont Overture\u003c\/span\u003e, Op. 84  (9:02)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLos Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eLive concert performance, Alhambra High School Auditorium, Los Angeles, 10 March 1946\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 17px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEETHOVEN  \u003c\/b\u003eViolin Concerto\u003c\/span\u003e in D major, Op. 61  (\u003ci\u003elive\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e2. 1st mvt. - Allegro ma non troppo  (21:53)\u003cbr\u003e3. 2nd mvt. - Larghetto  (9:35)\u003cbr\u003e4. 3rd mvt. - Rondo.

He proved also that the doing was well worth\nwhile. His ways with Beethoven’s ‘Egmont’ overture [...] were enlivening,\nsometimes surprising, but never mannered. He accomplished unusual results\nby the legitimate process of putting all the notes to work. Crisp rhythmic\nfigures emerged where too often there has been but a mulling of notes.\nBrasses were allowed to come into resplendent tone, and their sonority\nseemed to give balance and clarity to the orchestration. In both the\noverture and the symphony there was warm, forthright emotion, and the whole\nprogram made sense.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e(Patterson Greene, in the Los Angeles Examiner, 8\nMarch 1946)\n\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Adolf Busch is identified with the Bee­thoven Concerto in the minds of\nmany music-lovers and his interpretation of it is fortunately familiar to\nPhilharmonic-Sym­phony audiences. After a somewhat tenta­tive beginning he\nsoon got his teeth into the music and played superbly. Of especial interest\nwas a new, and terrific, cadenza by himself. One wonders whether other\nviolinists will have the temerity to attempt it, but it is so good that one\nhopes that Mr. Busch will publish it and give them the opportunity. In the\nslow movement, his tone grew warmer and more eloquent, and he played with\nthat encompassing nobility of style which characterizes his conception of\nthe whole work. All too often, the final rondo seems repetitious, but Mr.\nBusch played it with such animation that it posi­tively seemed too short.”\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e(S. in a New York newspaper, 8?
