About

Ernst Toch was what Gramophone called a “major lost composer of the 20th century.” He was born in Vienna and lived in Berlin from 1929 until he was forced to emigrate in 1933, eventually settling in the United States. In general, Toch’s music did not achieve the level of success in the United States that it had enjoyed in Europe, although his Symphony No. 3 won a Pulitzer Prize in 1956. 
 
The Tanz-Suite and Cello Concerto, written in Mannheim in 1923 and 1924, are the perfect demonstration of how Toch’s music came to terms with all modern musical trends in an idiosyncratic and creative way, without being completely committed to any one. Since the 1990s there has been a gradual revival of interest in Toch’s work, in which Spectrum Concerts Berlin has taken a decisive part. 
 
The Cello Concerto Op. 35 by Toch was the prize-winning entry for a competition of chamber concertos to be judged by Hindemith in late 1924. The cellist’s part is not that of a traditional spotlit soloist, yet the part calls for considerable virtuosity; not least in the scherzo.
