Anja Thauer was born in 1945 and is considered the German Jacqueline du Pr. Thauers 1968 recording of Dvo?ks Cello Concerto with Zden?k Mcal and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra for Deutsche Grammophon stunned the musical world. Thauers performance of the Dvo?k Cello Concerto is of its time, and I dont mean that its dated. Its robust and full-blooded, constantly teetering on the edge of collapse. Only young musicians dare to play with that kind of near-reckless passion and Thauer was 23 when it was recorded in Hamburg, in a studio that that The Beatles had used when they were in the city a few years previously. Most likely, the Czech Philharmonic were on tour in Germany and Deutsche Grammophon thought theyd make a good pairing with their young firebrand cellist (Phil Hebblethwaite, The Quietus). This 180g vinyl LP reissue includes the original artwork but with new liner notes by Tully Potter.
