Background: The distinguished violinist, Wolfgang Schneiderhan here makes his debut on BBC Legends with this stereo performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto accompanied by Istvan Kertesz, a great conductor who tragically died early in his career. Schneiderhan recorded the Beethoven Concerto twice in the 1950s and 1960s with Van Kempen and Jochum in the studio. Here BBC Legends catches Schneiderhan live at the Royal Festival Hall playing his own cadenzas which employed an unusual addition of timpani! Schneiderhan always had a wonderfully warm and lyrical violin tone and it is well caught here in this excellent stereo recording.

The Brahms Violin Sonata No.3 with Carl Seeman at the piano was recorded in a famous version by Schneiderhan in the studio but this shows him live during the Edinburgh Festival in 1956. The stereo recording of Beethoven's Egmont Overture opened the concert in 1964 and shows Kertesz's dramatic Hungarian conducting at its best given that he recorded very little Beethoven.
