They are being presented in roughly chronological order, with\nthis fourth volume featuring recordings Mengelberg made in 1940 and\n1941.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAfter the April, 1940 recordings featured in our previous volume (PASC\n686), Mengelberg’s next Telefunken sessions were held in Berlin that July,\nand featured Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 (with Conrad Hansen as\nsoloist) and his Fifth Symphony, both with the Berlin Philharmonic (PASC\n348). Back in Amsterdam for his next sessions in November, Mengelberg\nreturned to a work he had previously recorded ten years earlier with the\nNew York Philharmonic, Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nWhile that earlier recording had been notable for including the repeats for\nboth the first and third movements, the remake omitted them (following the\nusual practice of recordings of the time, thereby saving a disc). In two\ncontemporaneous live recordings of the work (one from 1940, which is\nmissing the first movement, and another dated as 1942), Mengelberg included\nthe repeat in the Scherzo in both performances, but omitted the first\nmovement’s repeat in the single complete extant live broadcast. The remake\nbenefits from the warmer acoustic of the Concertgebouw’s Grote Saal, as\nwell as from the alert, characterful playing of the ensemble and\nMengelberg’s more involved interpretation than in his earlier New York\nversion (PASC 412).\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nImmediately following the Beethoven at the same session, Mengelberg set\ndown the last of his studio recordings of Dutch repertoire with Julius\nRöntgen’s arrangement of two traditional Netherlands dances from the\ncomposer’s 1904 suite, originally issued as the filler side to Dopper’s\n\u003cem\u003eCiaconna Gotica\u003c\/em\u003e. The long session concluded with a recording of\nMozart’s Flute Concerto No. 2 with the Concertgebouw’s principal flutist,\nHerbert Barwahser, as soloist, but this studio version remained unissued\nand is presumed lost.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe next two days were given over to recording the Franck Symphony, which\nhad been broadcast the previous month (a live performance later released by\nPhilips) and Wagner’s Overture to \u003cem\u003eDie Meistersinger\u003c\/em\u003e. (The\nWagner, though recorded at the tail end of the Franck, has been placed\nbefore it due to timing limitations on our CD version.) Another unissued\nrecording would follow the Wagner: Franck’s Symphonic Variations with\nTheo van der Pas as soloist, whose matrices are also presumed lost.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMengelberg would next perform for Telefunken’s microphones five months\nlater, in April, 1941, for a remake of what is perhaps the conductor’s most\ncelebrated New York recording, Strauss’ \u003ci\u003eEin Heldenleben\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e. The composer had\ndedicated the score to Mengelberg and the Concertgebouw Orchestra together,\nso it was appropriate that the combination should leave a lasting document\nof the score. The solo violinist was the Concertgebouw’s newly-appointed\nconcertmaster, Ferdinand Helman, who had just succeeded Louis Zimmermann at\nthe start of the season. If the somewhat broader tempos of this\nperformance have led many to prefer the 1928 New York recording (PASC 104),\nit still scores in its superior sonics and in the equal commitment and\ndedication of both conductor and orchestra.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe sources for the transfers were German, Swiss and Swedish “Telestar”\nTelefunken 78 rpm shellac 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\n\u003cstrong\u003e\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMENGELBERG \u003c\/b\u003eThe Concertgebouw Telefunken Recordings, Vol. 4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD 1\n(59:20)\n\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBEETHOVEN Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 “Eroica”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1. 1st Mvt.: Allegro con brio (14:26)\u003cbr\u003e2. 2nd Mvt.: Marcia funebre: Adagio assai (15:58)\u003cbr\u003e3. 3rd Mvt.: Scherzo: Allegro vivace (3:58)\u003cbr\u003e4. 4th Mvt.: Allegro molto (11:06)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eRecorded 11 November 1940 ∙ Matrices: 025350\/61 ∙ First issued on\nTelefunken SK 3117\/22\n\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRÖNTGEN Old Netherlands Dances, Op. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e5.
