HutchFan Posted January 31, 2024 Report Posted January 31, 2024 More Dvořák: IMO, Barbirolli's Dvořák 8th with the Hallé is one of the finest recordings of this work -- right up there with Kubelik, Kertesz, et al. 4 hours ago, soulpope said: Thereof Toccata op 7 + Fantasia op 17 recorded in 1970 .... 😍superb😍 .... soulpope -- I'm curious: Were these Vedernikov recordings originally issued on Melodiya? If so, did Denon have a Melodiya licensing & reissue program like Angel/EMI and Columbia did in the 1970s? Quote

This not easy to be answered especially as a lot infos remains (to me) unavailable due to being written either in russian or japanese font. His Beethoven and Bach recordings issued on Denon were originally Melodiya releases .... but there are also broadcast recordings and I suspect Schumann Toccata op 7 + Fantasia op 17 recorded in 1970 is such a case .... Based on the forementioned there had to be a licensing deal between Denon and Melodiya .... but remember, the Denon releases started in the mid90`s, when - based on the breakdown of Soviet Union - things were in "free flow" .... But Anatoly Vedernikov was - due to stiff competiton from contemporaries -seemingly not considered premier line of Russian pianists, f.i he was not even granted a release within the highly acclaimed BMG/Melodiya 20 CD series "Russian Piano School" from 1996 .... Nevertheless, if you can get your hands on any of his Beethoven or said Schumann Denon CD´s don`t hesitate .... Quote
