The art of Emanuel Feuermann; Reger, Beethoven, and Handel, part 1

From four College Radio in Amherst the eastern educational radio network presents the last in a six part series of programs devoted to the art of the manual for Amman. Host for this series is cellist Seymour Itzkoff a member of the Department of Education at Smith College. For our first number I would like to play a recording of the adagio an Allegro from the organ concerto in G minor by Handel in the arrangement by for him and Franz represent the piano informant's interpretation we have a stately recreation of the simple yet architect tonic lines to be found and handles organ writing. The recording is a late one made some time after 138 When form an established residence in the United States. Let us now hear the adagio Allegro Handel played by Emmanuelle for him and Franz Rupp. Yeah.

That was a recording of Handel's Adarsh you want to let go from the organ concerto in G minor in an

arrangement by four women and played by the cellist with Franz rip at the piano. The next recording is interesting both historically and musically is the Beethoven string serenade Opus 8 and D Major recorded by the enum a string trio Simon Goldberg violin Paul and the myth of the aura and a manual for him and cello. One tends to compare this performance with the two wonderful recordings made by the Heifetz Primrose trio as it does 90 seem a just serenade and the motor if I did a mental made in 1941 about a dozen years after the recording of the Beethoven we are to hear it today. Though the head of the trio does not have the polished Sheen or the carefully wood balance and cohesion of the Heifetz promos for women group. Its performance is warm and lyrical delineating the various moods in a free and unselfconscious manner. It is a young group of musicians Hindemith the eldest being at most 35. Well both go Bergen for him and were still in their 20s. The Serenade is likewise the work of a young man.

Beethoven wrote it when he was 26 or 27. The musical structure is simple and I mean elaborated but the handling of the instruments assuring death the overall effect of the composition the performance it is given here. Betokens not only a Mormon tour group and that which actually performs it but also recording it was made more recently than 36 years ago. Let us now listen to a recording of the Beethoven Serenade in D major opus 8 for string trio. Simon Gerber violin Paul Hindemith Viola and Emmanuel for name and cello. And I've been.

Good. Friends with. Her. Yeah.
