Informationen
From 1955 until 1969, Géza Anda performed regularly at the Internationale Musikfestwochen Luzern. Only three recordings from this period have survived and are issued here in their entirety for the first time. These are the Concerto for Two Keyboard Instruments and Orchestra, BWV 1061, by Johann Sebastian Bach, recorded in 1955, and Béla Bartók's Third Piano Concerto, recorded in 1965. Anda was partnered by Clara Haskil and Herbert von Karajan for the Bach, and for the Bartók by Ernest Ansermet, who on this occasion was appearing for the final time in Lucerne. Also included here is Bartók's Second Piano Concerto, which Anda played with his favourite conductor, Ferenc Fricsay, before an enthusiastic audience.
audite presents this important new addition to the Anda discography in collaboration with the Géza Anda Foundation Zurich, Swiss Radio and Television (SRF), Salzburg's Eliette and Herbert von Karajan Institute and Lucerne Festival.

In den Ecksätzen ein bemerkenswert lebendiger Bach voller Drive und motorischer Energie, gleichzeitig aber stets offen für feine dynamische Abstufungen und, besonders im langsamen Satz, für atmosphärisch ausgestaltete Empfindungswelten.Mehr lesen

Anfangs erklingt das Konzert für zwei Klaviere und Orchester BWV 1061 von Johann Sebastian Bach, aufgenommen unter der Leitung von Herbert von Karajan, zusammen mit Clara Haskil. Die Interpretation ist ein Kind ihrer Zeit und ein Zeugnis der engen Zusammenarbeit Karajans nicht so sehr mit Anda, aber vor allem mit Haskil, die der Dirigent verehrte und mit der er viele Konzerte gab und auch im Duo spielte.
Geza Anda war ein ausgewiesener Bartok-Spezialist und seine Berliner Studioaufnahmen der Konzerte mit Ferenc Fricsay sind legendär.
Hier sind die Konzerte Nr. 2 unter Fricsay und Nr. 3 unter Ernest Ansermet zu hören. Beide Interpretationen sind extrem spannungsvoll und fesselnd.
Géza Anda was a regular guest at the Lucerne Music Festival from 1955-1969. The three radio recordings, which audite is now releasing together on a CD for the first time, date from this period.
At the beginning, we hear the Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra BWV 1061 by Johann Sebastian Bach, recorded under the direction of Herbert von Karajan, together with Clara Haskil. The interpretation is a child of its time and a testimony to Karajan’s close collaboration not so much with Anda, but especially with Haskil, whom the conductor adored and with whom he gave many concerts and also played as a duo.
Geza Anda was a proven Bartok specialist and his Berlin studio recordings of the concertos with Ferenc Fricsay are legendary. Here we hear Concertos No. 2 under Fricsay and No. 3 under Ernest Ansermet. Both interpretations are riveting.
