For members who have been around a relatively short time, I will preface this with a short introduction.
Quite a while ago, I acquired a collection of around 500 cassettes from a lady in Nottingham whose father had spent a considerable amount of time recording BBC Radio 3 broadcasts including a fair few Proms in the 80s and 90s. I uploaded a good selection a few years ago (my previous incarnation is identified as 'Guest 7' for some reason) and some of those links have probably expired. Anyway, now having settled into my new life here in Tywyn, I hope to resurrect the transfer of these tapes into a digital format and hopefully, therefore, preserve them for the future. As far as I know they are not commercially available and I trust you will inform me if that is wrong and I'll obviously remove those uploads immediately.
This first offering contains a 'Terezin Concert':
Hans Krása (1899-1944) - Tanz
Gideon Klein (1919-1945) - String Trio
Pavel Haas (1899-1944) - Study for Strings
Viktor Ullmann (1898-1944) - Symphony No 2 in D (1944) [UK premiere]
performed by {Krása, Klein} The Group for New Music and {Haas, Ullmann} the BBC Philharmonic and Israel Yinon
in a broadcast from 3rd October 1993 at Whitworth Hall, University of Manchester introduced by Christopher Cook.
Hope someone else enjoys it as I did......
