Dance Music of the Germania Musical Society
[…] January. We will add here that the programme entire, since it reveals a degree of richness totally beyond the experience of music-lovers at that day: Overture to “Jessonda” Spohr Violin and violoncello, on Styrian Airs. Performed by messrs. Wm. Schultz and Geo. Knoop. Septette, opus 20 Beethoven. Overture, C minor Lenschow. Concerto for Violoncello Knoop. Concertino for two flutes, from “Robert le Diable.” Performed by Messrs. Carl Zerrahn and P. Pfeiffer. Double Quartette Spohr. Duo Violin and Violoncello, from “William Tell.” “Midsummer Night’s Dream. Mendelssohn. A bill so replete with sterling compositions as the above would be creditable even in these days. Twenty-three years ago it was nothing less than a musical marvel; and when given, as it was, before a crowded and attentive audience, and by such conscientious musicians, the effect produced may be imagined. For years afterward the “Germania and Knoop […]

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto (Digital DL review)
[…] concerto being among the most popular in the violin repertoire. The work consists of three fairly standard movements, but it was inventive in its day in that the violin appears almost immediately, and the movements are played without pause. In this concerto, Heifetz again puts on a blazing display of virtuosity, and while it can be fun in most respects, it may also be overkill.

Producer Pfeiffer and engineer John Crawford recorded the Mendelssohn at Orchestra Hall, Boston in February 1959. HDTT remastered the recordings in a variety of download formats including DSD128 (Direct Stream Digital), 24/352 8 DXD PCM FLAC digital, DSD64, 24/192 PCM, and 24/96 PCM, plus a variety of DVD Audio and CD configurations on physical disc.
