They are being\npresented in roughly chronological order, with this third volume featuring\nrecordings Mengelberg made in 1938 and 1940.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nOn 1 December 1938, immediately following the Debussy \u003cem\u003ePrelude to the Afternoon of a Faun\u003c\/em\u003e which concluded our previous\nset, Mengelberg recorded the two works which begin the present program.\nSomewhat surprisingly, it was the first time he had recorded any Dutch\nmusic with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the only occasion on which he\nmade a 10-inch disc with that ensemble. The first track features the Dutch\nnational anthem in an arrangement by the conductor, followed by Valerius’\n“Dutch Prayer of Thanksgiving” (best known outside of the Netherlands as\nthe hymn “We Gather Together”) orchestrated by Wagenaar.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nFinishing out the session, Mengelberg began recording the Beethoven Fourth\nSymphony, concluding it the following day. It was a new addition to his\ndiscography of the composer, and differs from the broadcast of 25 April\n1940 (on Pristine \u003ci\u003ePASC 236\u003c\/i\u003e) mainly in its lack of repeats in the third\nmovement in order to fit it on a single side.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMengelberg and his orchestra would not stand before Telefunken’s\nmicrophones again for another 16 months. He returned for four days of\nsessions in April, 1940, the first three of which were mainly taken up with\nthe Brahms Second. It was the last of the composer’s symphonies that he\nwould record, after the Third (for Columbia, now on \u003ci\u003ePASC 616\u003c\/i\u003e) in 1932 and\nthe Fourth in 1938 (\u003ci\u003ePASC 664\u003c\/i\u003e). The First would only be preserved via a live\nradio performance from 1940 (\u003ci\u003ePASC 221\u003c\/i\u003e).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe three Dutch compositions which begin the second disc here were recorded\nthe day after the Brahms sessions were completed. In addition to the well\nover a hundred works he composed, Cornelius Dopper was also assistant\nconductor of the Concertgebouw Orchestra from 1908 to 1931. His \u003cem\u003eCiaconna Gotica\u003c\/em\u003e, considered by many to be his masterpiece, was\npremièred in 1920, and attracted the interest of Leopold Stokowski, who\ngave its first American performance in Philadelphia six years later.\nMengelberg’s recording was made just seven months after Dopper’s death,\nprobably as a tribute to the composer.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRudolf Mengelberg was Willem’s nephew, and studied composition under him\nand Dopper. His setting of \u003cem\u003eSalve Regina\u003c\/em\u003e and the Hendrik Andreissen\nsong which was the recording’s “filler” side were the only issued studio\nrecordings Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw made with a soloist. (His set\nof the Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto with Hansen was done with the\nBerlin Philharmonic, and all other Mengelberg recordings with soloists stem\nfrom broadcasts.) Jo Vincent was a frequent partner in the conductor’s\nperformances, singing a wide range of works from Bach ( \u003cem\u003eSt. Matthew Passion\u003c\/em\u003e) to Brahms (\u003cem\u003eA German Requiem\u003c\/em\u003e, on \u003ci\u003ePACO 012\u003c\/i\u003e) to Mahler (Symphony No. 4, \u003ci\u003ePASC 055\u003c\/i\u003e).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe Tchaikovsky \u003cem\u003e“1812” Overture\u003c\/em\u003e which concludes our program was\nactually recorded at the tail end of the Brahms Second sessions. Even\nwithout a chorus or cannons, it remains one of the most exciting – and \u003cem\u003emusical\u003c\/em\u003e – performances of the work ever made, and has been placed\nhere to provide a rousing conclusion to our program.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe sources for the transfers were German and French Telefunken 78 rpm\nshellac pressings from the original masters.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\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\u003eMENGELBERG \u003c\/b\u003eThe Concertgebouw Telefunken Recordings, Vol. 3 (1938-40)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD 1 (74:27)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n1.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18px;\"\u003eTRADITIONAL Wilhelmus van Nassouwe\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e(orch.
