"It's for the Fortner and Pfitzner recordings that collectors will want this latest Taschner disc. When the playing is so fine we can luxuriate in Rosbaud-conducted Fortner and Kempe-directed Pfitzner."
(MusicWeb May 2007)

MDG has dedicated several releases to the violin marvel Gerhard Taschner, who was fascinating the Vienna public already at the age of thirteen and later became the youngest concertmaster in Wilhelm Furtwängler's Berlin Philharmonic. Unfortunately, not all of Taschner's recordings have survived; but those that have include the violin concertos of Bruch, Pfitzner, and Fortner, and they are heard in exquisite quality on this new CD.
