When I saw this, Blacher was a name that suddenly rang distant bells and has led me into a nostalgic digression. I remembered a concert in Leipzig ages ago which I attended with my wife before we were married and had only just met. The Blacher we saw was Boris, father of Kolja who plays violin on that Hindemith disc and was concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic under Abbado in the 90s. I can actually remember the concert fairly well. Boris conducted a rather striking programme and I even found the accompanying programme booklet from Jan 1973. I definitely remember the somewhat iconic and very energetic Siegfried Palm playing cello in Blacher's Concerto. (someone's put part of it YouTube). He also played it at the Proms in 68 under Schmidt-Isserstedt.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View Post
We also had:
Blacher's 1st Piano Concerto, played by his wife (Kolja's mum), Gerty Herzog. (I noticed that Kolja has recorded with her)
Rudolf Wagner-Régeny's Mythologische Figurinen
+ Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy
Boris Blacher died a couple of years later.
If I wanted to reconstruct that evening for old time's sake (which I might attenpt), the only item seemingly not available is the Wagner-Régeny.Last edited by gurnemanz; 08-06-20, 21:36.Comment
