Henry Merckel ∙ French Radio Recordings 1953-1958

9.99 €

Henry Merckel never recorded either of these two concertos commercially; another excellent feature of the broadcast material being that it allows one to hear musicians on the wing in repertoire largely unfamiliar from their studio discographies. He juggled a long-term career as concertmaster with solo and chamber music responsibilities. This release was carefully considered and none of these French radio performances have been published before and aims to bring his artistry back into the present.
