1964 and 1967 are both good years.

The info in the link could be inaccurate, I guess.

Leopold Ludwig（1908-1979）與卡拉揚同年出生，他與 Gilels 在EMI灌錄貝多芬鋼琴協奏曲，使其名聲不置於被後世遺忘。Leopold Ludwig戰前活躍於維也納國立歌劇院。戰後則遊走東、西柏林的歌劇場和音樂會，並擔任漢堡歌劇院音樂監督，他的指揮領域很廣，主要以歌劇為主。

今年也是Leopold Ludwig百年冥誕，Denon Eurodisc將他錄於1960年的柴可夫斯基第五號交響曲首度CD化，對探索Leopold Ludwig的指揮藝術，多了一些重要線索。此外，他與Bamberg的貝多芬第九號錄音，也將在10月登場。

for piano and cello .
Tonight , at City Hall Theatre, watched 2 local artists, Deborah Wong and William Tsui, playing above in the second half. Very enjoyable. Audience about 80%+ full. Many young children came.

First half, a bit boring for me: piano solo of Chopin Op.61, Rachmaninoff Op 23 No.6, Op. 21 no. 5, Scriabin Op 8 Op 45 etc.

Ticket price is very affordable. $80 full adult fare.

Support local artists and support tax revenue being used upon these kind of activities.

David Oistrakh 在EMI的錄音全紀錄已經今天上市，根據 HK Records 來售價是17碟共 HK$ 780元，這套 Complete Oistrakh Boxset 在日本HMV一度還高居銷售排行榜第一名，可見有很多人即使收齊了 David Oistrakh 的錄音，還是照買不誤。

Pro Sound 的售價是 HK$ 6xx!

接下來就是鋼琴家 Georges Cziffra (1921-1994）的40CD大全集（1956-1986的錄音），這套 Boxset 的吸引程度應該不下於 David Oistrakh。

I just ordered one from hmv.co.jp. The cost including delivery is HK$588!

I don't have any recording by Cortot.

Listened to a few of his playings in youtube, his interpretation of Chopin is rather different.

Full of rubato:

貝姆 (Karl Bohm) 的貝多芬交響曲九大詮釋,樂句 (Phrasing) 語法帶有正宗的德奧血統,速度中規中矩而又不至於死板到像在打拍子, VPO也保持著一定的水準. 這套ㄧ直是我用來比較用的 Benchmark...實在想不透為什麼沒有受到DGG的青睞,至今沒有發行過國際版全集. (現在想想還真慶幸當年先把法國版買了下來,個人覺得雖然是法國版,但是聲音還是比後來的國際版 Originals來的自然些(第六號交響曲)。

DG在CD時代早期推出廉價系列—Resonance，其中有這張Karl Bohm (1894.8.28-1981.8.14）與維也納愛樂灌錄的貝多芬第七號交響曲，它來自兩者合作的貝多芬交響曲全集，在DG日版、法版推出前，樂迷難得找得到 Karl Bohm的貝多芬交響曲錄音，出版在DG的國際發行裡。

最近日版 SHM-CD reissue 翻製的 Bohm指揮維也納愛樂演奏第六號交響曲 "田園" ，聲音比較精煉細緻，噪音明顯減少!有 detail 但好似缺少濃濃的 analogue 味，似乎 noise shaping 有一點點過火!

Cortot's is well-known of his signature tone and audible error in his stylish playing, so what?! His chopin reading now becomes extinct and nobody could quite imitate his idiosyncratic fingerwork and phrasing !

An irreversible lost of a romantic period! If you feel interesting of his playing, try Naxos reissues or his forthcoming reissue in EMI!

CKL2, many thanks for the tracklist.

EMI would have included some more Oistrakh + Richter, eg. Beethoven's Triple Concerto: Oistrakh, Rostropovich, Richter / Moscow Philharmonic / Kondrashin [1970].

Oistrakh and Richter's partnership in music and companionship beyond music are as remarkable as they are legendary.

To the Memory of David Oistrakh
1. Haydn: Piano Sonata No. 39 in D major, Hob.XVI.24
2. Brahms: Violin Sonata No. 1 in G major, op. 78
3. Shostakovich: Violin Sonata, op. 134
4. Hindemith: Viola Sonata in F, op. 11 no. 4
5. Britten: "Lachrymae", op. 48
6. Shostakovich: Viola Sonata, op. 147
Sviatoslav Richter (piano) / Oleg Kagan (violin) / Yuri Bashmet (viola) [r. in Germany, 6-8 March 1985]
Victor VICC 60605-06: DDD 2007 (2 CDs)

Also released last year is Grieg's Piano Concerto played by Richter with Oistrakh as the conductor of The USSR Symphony Orchestra in 1968 (Venezia CDVE 04288). This is in fact one of the three commercial releases of the Richter + Oistrakh partnership playing the Grieg Concerto.

Morning Trollope!

Thanks for your sharing! I should probably order these new reissue about the duo of Oistrakh and Richter from HMV Japan cause Venezia is still unavailable in Hong Kong!

Morning, George.

"EMI would have included" should read:

Morning, Wal.

I am very interested in hearing the last statements in music by great musicians
(08-08-01 10:34) ＞

Do you have Backhaus's 1969 sein letztes konzert double CD?

A chapter in the history of classical music was closed on the second day, which ended halfway with a repeat of Schubert's Impromptus in A flat major.

Trollope,

This should be a new reissue by UMG Japan, I dun think that I have this live account for his last concert. What makes his last concert so special was his rare reading in Schubert Moments Musicaux D780 and Schumann (especially my favourite recital piece Schumann Fantasiestucke op12 (excerpt), and his only once collaboration with Gunter Wand and VPO playing Schumann Piano Concerto which I recently bought in HK Records). Backhaus is a last generation of old German-Austro school, you can hear his genuine command in fingerwork and comprehension in these piano masterpieces.

I am looking forward to listen this precious account if I can order it successfully from Japan. So fruitful this weekend morning!

George1977

Trollope,

Your new Decca Japan reissue should be the third reissue after London Japan and German Emritage.

這兩場最後音樂會唱片公司留下了錄音紀錄，這個巴克豪斯 (Wilhelm Backhaus) 的「天鵝之歌」由日本London首度CD化。

1996 年德國Ermitage/Decca另發行單張CD，他和日版差別在於Ermitage將26日及28日兩場演奏會集合成一張，但刪掉部分26日的演出曲目、編排上也與日版不盡相同（內頁的日期標示是錯誤的，其實是包括26、28日兩場，但該廠僅標示28日）。

而日版則是全部的兩場演奏會忠實紀錄。錄音方面，Ermitage版忠實地捕捉了28日那場音樂會，巴克豪斯 (Wilhelm Backhaus) 與觀眾間的互動，甚至在最後一首舒伯特即興曲後，長達五十秒的鼓掌和聽眾的交談也都收錄進去。以收藏價值來看，日版遠高於Ermitage版，除了收錄完整的兩場演奏會外，也沒有Ermitage版的製作失誤的尷尬（標錯日期），不過，日版經多次再版，價格一路下滑，最新的2004年版在製作上未如第一版精美。

另外，遺憾的是，Decca國際版竟然至今未曾發行過CD。

兩個CD版本比較：

德國 Ermitage
1-3 Mozart Sonata K331
4-6 Beethoven Sonata No.21
7 Schubert Impromptu Op.142 No.2
8-10 Beethoven Sonata No.18
11-12 Schumann Fantasiestucke Op.12
13 Schubert Impromptu Op.142 No.2 (5:20)

Japan London
CD1
1-3 Beethoven Sonata No.21
4-9 Schubert Moments musicaux D.780
10-12 Mozart Sonata K331
13 Schubert Impromptu Op.142 No.2
CD2
1-3 Beethoven Sonata No.18
4-5 Schumann Fantasiestucke Op.12
6 Schubert Impromptu Op.142 No.2 (4:51)
