Recordings of the standard repertoire\nin particular have not survived, and we are more than lucky to have the\nlive transmission of Mozart’s \u003cem\u003eCosì fan tutte\u003c\/em\u003e from 1940 (PACO 195).\nThe 1938 live broadcast of the Alban Berg Violin Concerto with soloist\nLouis Krasner has been frequently re-issued, and there are two more works\npossibly recorded on 4 December 1949 (one of the recording dates is\nsomewhat precarious) which were released together with the only other\nSwedish radio recording conducted by Fritz Busch (from Malmö in 1949) in\n2012. The sole work from the 4 December 1949 concert heard here is the \u003cem\u003eOstinato\u003c\/em\u003e from Lars-Erik Larsson’s Symphony No. 2, Op. 17 – a piece\nthat Busch and others frequently performed independently after the composer\nhad discarded the other two movements.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe concert of 2 May 1951 (repeated on 5 May) featured, as its second half,\nStrauss’ \u003cem\u003eVier letzte Lieder\u003c\/em\u003e, starring a young Sena Jurinac, and\nFranz Berwald’s \u003cem\u003eSinfonie sérieuse\u003c\/em\u003e. The concert took place just a\nfew days prior to Busch’s last performance of \u003cem\u003eCosì fan tutte\u003c\/em\u003e (on 6\nMay) and three performances of Beethoven’s \u003cem\u003eMissa solemnis\u003c\/em\u003e the last\nof which, on 11 May, marked his final appearance in Stockholm.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nBusch was well aware of the musical heritage of Sweden, and at his first\nconcert in Stockholm after the war he directed Berwald’s operatic overture \u003cem\u003eEstrella di Soria\u003c\/em\u003e. He frequently conducted music by Franz Berwald,\nbut also Larsson’s \u003cem\u003eOstinato\u003c\/em\u003e and Hugo Alfvén’s \u003cem\u003eMidsommarwaka\u003c\/em\u003e Swedish Rhapsody.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA curiosity is the small item from the incidental music for Selma\nLagerlöf’s\u003cem\u003e Kejsarn av Portugallien\u003c\/em\u003e ( \u003cem\u003eThe Emperor of Portugal\u003c\/em\u003e) by Erik Erling, then organist of the\nChurch of Hedvig Eleonora, and kapellmeister at the Kungliga Dramatiska\nTeatern - a recording which, according to its only release in a collection\ndevoted to violinist Henri Marteau and his Swedish pupils and colleagues,\nwas just an ‘interval’ recording after the other items to be recorded had\nbeen completed. Sadly, all other Swedish radio recordings involving Busch\nfrom this session (if he was involved in any) appear not to have survived.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Berwald Symphony radio recordings stand out in Busch’s discography as\nit is the only work for which all three rehearsals have survived in total\n(and been released on LP). These 150 minutes of rehearsals are mostly of\nspecialist interest only, and would here divert from the performances\nthemselves. Compared to Busch’s performance of the \u003cem\u003eVier letzte Lieder\u003c\/em\u003e taped at Copenhagen ten weeks earlier (issued\nin 2010), the Stockholm performance, which has been unavailable for some 30\nyears, is somewhat more down to earth, more subdued in tempo, yet still of\nmuch interest, not least due to Jurinac’s jubilant youthful voice. Busch\nhad been immediately taken by the expressiveness and beauty of her voice,\nand engaged her on many an occasion, though not yet in Verdi roles in order\nto let her voice develop healthily.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJürgen Schaarwächter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eMax-Reger-Institut with BuschBrothersArchive, 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\u003eFRITZ BUSCH\u003c\/b\u003e in Stockholm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBERWALD \u003c\/b\u003eEstrella de Soria - Overture\u003c\/span\u003e  (7:13)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKonsertförenings Orkester    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eStockholm, Konserthuset (broadcast live performance), 29 September 1946\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eERLING \u003c\/b\u003eIncidental music to Kejsarn av Portugallien - Intermezzo 7b: Värmlandssången\u003c\/span\u003e  (3:13)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Damme\u003c\/b\u003e, violin; \u003cb\u003eCarl Thelin\u003c\/b\u003e, violoncello; members of the \u003cb\u003eKungliga Orkester\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eStockholm, Church of Hedvig Eleonora, 20 November 1939 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLARSSON \u003c\/b\u003eSymphony No. 2 op. 17 - 3rd mvt. - Ostinato\u003c\/span\u003e  (8:38)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStockholm Radiotjaensts Symfoniorkester\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eStockholm, Konserthuset (broadcast live performance), 4 December 1949 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBERWALD \u003c\/b\u003eSymphony No. 1 in G minor, 'Symphonie sérieuse'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. 1st mvt. - Allegro con energia   (8:11)\u003cbr\u003e5. 2nd mvt. - Adagio maestoso  (7:13)\u003cbr\u003e6. 3rd mvt. - Stretto  (6:13)\u003cbr\u003e7. 4th mvt. - Finale: Adagio - Allegro molto  (7:11)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKonsertförenings Orkester\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eStockholm, Konserthuset (broadcast live performance), 2 May 1951\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eR.
