Liner notes]John Anthony Maltese (1902-1942) was a German cellist who raised the art of cello playing to new heights in his short life, which ended tragically at the young age of 39. This 7-CD box contains all of Feuermann's recordings made for RCA Red Seal in New York between January 13, 1939 and September 13, 1941. Most of the solo recordings, except for the recordings with Heifetz and Rubinstein and the concertos, are being released on CD for the first time using the original masters, including Bach's "Adagio" and Fauré's "After a Dream", which are being released for the first time worldwide from the original masters. The recordings previously released on CD have also been newly reissued from the original masters. As Starker is known to praise, "Casals changed the image of the cello, and Feuermann perfected the art of the cello," Feuermann overcame the difficulties of cello playing and set a whole new standard for the instrument in terms of technique and musicality. In a sense, he may be considered the founder of cello playing as we know it today. In addition to his impeccable technique and fluid playing, Faiermann's achievements as a pedagogue and teacher of cello playing techniques are not to be overlooked. Hideo Saito (1902-1974), the founder of Toho Gakuen School of Music and the founder of many musicians including Seiji Ozawa, also studied cello with Feuermann in Berlin in 1930, and was well known to Japanese music fans through two tours in Japan and recordings in Japan. Conductor Eugene Ormandy praised Feuermann's cello for "revealing the true meaning of the music," and American critic, pianist, and composer Jed Distler wrote, "Feuermann has an intense, focused tone, restrained warmth, centered intonation, smooth Feuermann has the most dexterous left hand in the business (how effortlessly he can play the double stop!), unwavering integrity, and a strong, focused tone that sings with expressive simplicity, restrained warmth, centered intonation, a smooth yet versatile bowing arm, and a strong, confident voice. ), unwavering integrity, and impeccable taste. Everything he played was etched in the memory of his audience," said musicologist Richard Taruskin. Feuermann began recording in his acoustic days, leaving behind about four CDs worth of recordings for Parlophone (Germany) and Columbia (UK), including cello concertos by Dvořák and Haydn, Bloch's Kol Nidrei, and discs with Hindemith and Goldberg, which were praised from the time they were released. The recordings were highly acclaimed in the SP record world. After the Nazis deprived him of his base of operations in Berlin, he emigrated to the U.S. and signed a contract with RCA, further marking his mark on recordings. Concertos include Brahms' Double Concerto with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Ormandy (violin by Jascha Heifetz), R. Strauss' "Don Quixote" and Bloch's "Sheromo" with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski. In chamber music, there are four piano trios by Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, and Brahms with Heifetz and Artur Rubinstein, which have never disappeared from the catalog since their release as supreme masterpieces from the SP era, and a Beethoven trio with Heifetz and viola virtuoso William Primrose. Heifetz and viola virtuoso William Primrose, a Beethoven duet and a D'Honagni string trio.This is the first solo album to be released on CD using the original masters, and it includes Mendelssohn's Cello Sonata No. 2, as well as smaller works and arrangements from Bach and Handel to Fauré and Kantlube, with the outstanding German-American pianist Franz Rupp (Fritz Kreisler, The set's booklet includes new liner notes by violin specialist John Maltese, as well as a new booklet by Emanuel Feuillier, and a new booklet by violinist Emanuel Feuillier.
