Geza Anda

Description:

Geza Anda & Karl Bhm’s complete first appearance! Anda’s last live performance at the Salzburg Festival, Mozart No.18 is a swan song of the highest quality, and Brahms No.1, which is rarely recorded, is also performed with great enthusiasm. Mozart No. 18 at the Salzburg Festival in 1974. Each concerto is preceded by an announcement from the broadcast. While there are several known recordings of the second Brahms, the first Brahms is Anda’s Brahms, which is not widely available. It is fortuitous to hear it with Bhm. Anda plays with a deep and deliberate orchestra, while Bhm plays with a fervent but firm construction. This is a heated performance in which masterful technique and unparalleled intensity collide. Even though this is a monaural recording, the fullness of the music can be appreciated more than adequately. Anda had a good relationship with Salzburg, appearing there every year since 1952,
