About

Edition Karl Böhm Volume VII

Karl Böhm and Wilhelm Backhaus enjoyed an especially harmonious artistic partnership. The two musicians worked together frequently, both on the concert platform and in the recording studio and their cooperation is well documented in the form of recordings for the radio and on disc.

These interpretations of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto (live) and Fourth Symphony with the RIAS Symphony Orchestra from the early 1950s are amongst the first Beethoven recordings made by Karl Böhm after the Second World War. The G major Piano Concerto was a favourite of Wilhelm Backhaus. Serene, tranquil and at peace with himself, he presents a congenial realisation of the score together with Böhm.

Karl Böhm's virtues as a conductor, such as his precision, discipline and kapellmeister-like rigour, find an equal counterpart in the clear pianism of the 66-year-old Wilhelm Backhaus.

Berlin, 1950/1952
