A few weeks ago, we reported on the Pfitzner chamber music concert of October 1918, which had been scheduled and then cancelled.
Some research has helped us to clarify or correct other information from our list, still relating to the ‘Mannheim’ period and the season that followed.
– The concert performed by the Mannheim Theatre Orchestra in Ludwigshafen on 3 October 1918: we now know the titles of the three Lieder with orchestra by Mahler sung by Delia Reinhardt: Wo die schönen Trompeten blasen, Ich atmet’ einen Linden Duft, Wer hat dies Liedlein erdacht?
– Concert on 15 October 1918 in Mannheim. The list read: Mozart, Violin Concerto No. 2 or No. 4. (both in D major)? Eva Bernstein played No. 4, the K. 218 being authentic.
– Concert in Hamburg on 10 November 1918. In fact, the 10th was for the public dress rehearsal, the concert having taken place on the 11th of November.
– Furtwängler conducted a series of ‘Meisterkonzert’ at the Berlin Philharmonic, notably on April 11 and May 9, 1921. To these must be added the public dress rehearsals on the eves of April 10 and May 8.
– The existing list indicated that as the newspaper Mannheimer Anzeige did not mention any of the protagonists of the Fidelio on 19 June 1921 in Mannheim, it was therefore not possible to list the cast. We have found the leaflet with the details. See below.
