Gerhard taschner biography
Gerhard Taschner (Krnov, – Berlin, 21 juillet ) est un violoniste virtuose et un professeur de musique allemand.!
The last few years has seen an explosion of interest in Gerhard Taschner. A biography, re-issues of his Odeon 78s of the early 1940s and a number of broadcast performances including major concerti and work with august collaborators, such as Gieseking, has furthered our knowledge of his musicianship.
Gerhard Taschner was a noted German violinist and teacher.
His career was truncated and he died regrettably young at fifty-four, though his active concert-giving career had trailed off significantly before his death in 1976.
He made his first recordings for Odeon as a young man of nineteen in war-torn Berlin.
Of the eighteen discs that he made ten are presented in this husband and wife disc devoted pretty equally to Gerhard and his wife Gerda, herself a talented pianist. Two of the Odeons include the only sides recorded by Gerhard and Gerda as a duo.
His Chaconne, a massive and etiolated performance, is the work of a serious-minded young man whose devotion to Bach is not matched as yet by a sense of architectural responsibility. I�ve previousl
