About
In addition, since each elected to commemorate what might arguably be termed connoisseur literature, neither disc became a best seller by classical music standards, and in fact, both faded into obscurity fairly soon after they appeared.
Thus, modern listeners may be especially grateful that perhaps ironically todays advanced digital technology offers an unprecedented window into the past that enables these superb performances to re-emerge into the sunlight. While today, neither Baumgartner nor Then-Bergh is as well remembered today as their gifts should merit, perhaps the present release will help restore at least some of the recognition they deserve, for they were not simply brilliant virtuosos, but performers of far rarer gifts: as can easily be seen from the performances presented here, they were, first and foremost, both extraordinarily intelligent and sensitive musicians.
Both recordings are mastered from the original tapes, and the detailed notes are by the distinguished Stephen Siek, connoisseur, teacher and performer.
