To date,\nthese have featured not only more Brahms (the Violin Concerto with\nSiegfried Borries, the First Piano Concerto with Alfred Hoehn and the\nDouble Concerto with Carl and Adolf Steiner) but also Schumann (the \u003cem\u003eSpring\u003c\/em\u003e Symphony) and Mozart (Piano Concerto No. 24 with Lubka\nKolessa). This release and one to follow will make available for the first\ntime all of his remaining extant live broadcasts, as well as reissue some\nof those already available in, hopefully, improved sound. None of the\nselections on the present issue, to my knowledge, have been previously\nreleased.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe first thing that will be evident to listeners of these recordings is\nthat they boast higher fidelity and more impactful sound than most other\nbroadcasts that have come down to us from the mid-1930s, like the\nToscanini\/New York Philharmonic broadcasts or the Bodanzky\/Met \u003cem\u003eGötterdämmerung\u003c\/em\u003e. This was a result of German Radio’s practice of\npreserving the performances not on the then-common media of aluminum or\nacetate discs, but by recording them like a commercial release – on wax\nmasters, plated, and pressed on shellac. A small number of copies were\nstruck and sent to radio stations for delayed broadcast. Time and the\nvicissitudes of war have made them scarce, resulting in some of the\nperformances presented here being incomplete.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe second observation is that these performances represent an approach to\ninterpretation the likes of which, for better or worse, we do not hear\ntoday. From the lovely but rather romanticized Mozart through possibly the\nmost portentous and dramatic Beethoven Fifth one is likely to encounter, we\nare hearing not so much Brahms’ disciple as Hans von Bülow’s, according to\nthe late critic Christopher Dyment. Frequent tempo changes, distended\nchords (particularly in the Beethoven), unexpected inner voices being\nbrought out and \u003cem\u003eLuftpausen\u003c\/em\u003e were part and parcel of the approach\nFiedler learned when he began his conducting career in the mid-1880s. These\nbroadcasts are a direct sonic link to that era, and an ear-opening\nexperience to listeners today.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\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;\"\u003eMAX FIEDLER  German Radio Recordings – Volume 1\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 (60:48)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n1. \u003cstrong\u003eBRAHMS: Tragic Overture, Op. 81\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(incomplete)\u003c\/em\u003e\n(12:00)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eRecorded 17 April 1936\n\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMOZART: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor, K.466\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. 1st Mvt.: Allegro \u003cem\u003e(Cadenza: Hummel)\u003c\/em\u003e (14:02)\u003cbr\u003e3. 2nd Mvt.: Romance (7:45)\u003cbr\u003e4. 3rd Mvt.: [Allegro assai] \u003cem\u003e(incomplete)\u003c\/em\u003e (5:07)\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeinrich Steiner (piano)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12px;\"\u003eRecorded 5 December 1937\n\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTCHAIKOVSKY: Nutcracker Suite, Op. 71a\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5.
