Two of those concerts are presented\nhere, the other, a 1940 Lewishon Stadium concert in 1940, does not appear\nto have been recorded. Both Rodziński and Serkin were born into the\nmulti-national and multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire. Rodziński was born\nin Split, Croatia in 1892, though he grew up in the Polish city of Lwów\nwhile Serkin was born in Bohemia in 1903.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRodziński came to the US in the 1920s under the patronage of Leopold\nStokowski. He assumed the successive directorships of the Los Angeles\nPhilharmonic (1929-33), the Cleveland Orchestra (1933-43), and the New York\nPhilharmonic (1943-47) and helped to recruit and train the members of the\nNBC Symphony Orchestra for Toscanini in 1937. Although he had tempestuous\nrelationships with managements throughout his career, on the podium he was\nrenowned as a gifted technician. One of Rodziński’s significant innovations\nwas his willingness to present performances of operas to his concert\naudiences, including an abbreviated Elektra in New York in 1937 with Rosa\nPauly and the final act of Die Walküre in 1945 with Helen Traubel. He made\nsome commercial recordings, but those from the 1940s are not very well\nknown and have not remained as consistently in the catalogue as those of\nsome of his contemporaries. Live recordings offer us a much deeper\nappreciation of his conducting talents and not only were there regular\nbroadcasts throughout his tenure in New York, the Carnegie Hall recording\ncompany also made in-house recordings of many live performances in the\n1940s. The Brahms concerto in this release in one such in-house\nrecording.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nRudolf Serkin made regular guest appearances in the US from 1933 onwards\nbefore immigrating permanently in 1939 to escape Nazi persecution due to\nhis Jewish heritage. In 1936 he made his New York debut creating, according\nto Olin Downes, that ‘very rare’ occurrence of a soloist who could ‘match\nan orchestral interpretation directed by Arturo Toscanini.’ His first New\nYork solo recital in 1937 was described as ‘sensational’ with the New York\nTimes praising his ‘magnificent control, and … sovereign sense of form.’\nGiven his long life (he died in 1991) Serkin unsurprisingly made a vast\nnumber of commercial recordings, many in stereo in ideal studio conditions.\nHis live recordings, particularly from his early years, have received far\nless circulation but they capture his complete mastery of style, and the\n‘tonal subtlety’ he was famous for, with the added excitement of being\ncaptured exactly as the audience heard it. And for Serkin the audience was\nkey. He once remarked ‘I don’t believe too much in style. If the\nperformance doesn’t move you, it’s a bad performance.’\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003eSerkin with Rodzi\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 24px;\"\u003eński in New York\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEETHOVEN  \u003c\/b\u003ePiano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. 1st mvt. -
