Wilhelm Backhaus' Discography(1) - from Albeniz to Brahms ; Youngrok LEE's Music Page

* Discography & recordings ; Wilhelm Backhaus(1)
from Albéniz to Brahms

This discography is imperfect because my source is much restricted. I have little information on his 78s era recordings and Decca monaural Beethoven Sonatas. Any information will be welcomed. (Recording data not in this page, broadcast recording, or other rare CDs.....)
Album numbers are linked to the jacket images in case I can get them.
I tried to include recently available CDs first in this page, but I excluded most of all items from such labels as Iron Needle, Enterprise, etc. If you'd like to know the reason, see Hall of Shame.
Decca/London LP 'LL... LXT...' series are monaural.

The resources

Main
- My Records
- All Classical Guide
- Amazon(from USA, Germany, France, Japanese)
- Japanese HMV
- The records companies ; EMI, DG, Sony Classical, Decca & Philips, Naxos, Music & Arts, Andante, The Arkivmusic
- Philips Stuart; 'Decca recordings 1929~2009'
Special Contributions
- The recording data of Albéniz, Daquin, Debussy, Dvorák, Falla, Gounod, Moszkowski, Mussorgsky, Rachmaninov, Scarlatti, Tchaikovsky, Wagner and Weber's works are from Chiu Chi Lin's Backhaus discography, which is based on John Hunt's arrangement(with some erratic informations).
- Mr. Jui-Yuan Yen gave me the precise data of Toshiba-EMI/Shinseido's "The Art of Wilhelm Backhaus"(12 CDs), many Italian releases, and Joy Classics' ORF TV broadcast.
Many LPs
Personal Contribution
- Ferenc Fricsay discography(Japanese) ; Mr. Leopold Schmetterer kindly mailed to me.
- Mr. Marc van Bemmel ; Several Decca old LPs
- Mr. Tom Brannigon ; Classical Vinyl Artwork
- Mr. Chiu Chi Lin ; Mozart's Concerto No.27, 1956 recording
- Mr. HIMAHITO Kitagawa's Decca LXT catalog(Japanese) ; I cannot know his e-mail address therefore cannot approve this quotation...
- Mr. HUANG Yuan ; Error of Japanese 'Backhaus complete Decca recordings' set information
- Mr. LEE Hyle ; Brahms' Piano concerto No.2 with Karajan
- Mr. KON'NO Satoshi ; Emperor concerto with Schuricht(Virtuoso release)

- Mr. Brian Stevenson ; Source of the producer/engineer, some informations. (See http://www.pristineclassical.com/LargeWorks/indexes/ArtistB.html ) And kindly gave me a notification of Testament SBT 1487 release.
- Mr. YE Zhiqiu ; Naxos 78s release(Concerto No.1, Paganini var. & op.79)
Notes
- Decca's limited edition "The Complete Backhaus"(46 LPs) are excluded due to the lack of data.
- In the Philips/Decca online catalogue, the recording dates of Philips 456 718-2(20th century pianist series issue) is wrong. This issue contains all of the Carnegie Hall recital(30th Mar. 1954) and Brahms' Piano Concerto No.2 with Schuricht(studio, May 1953).
- I saw many recording infos at this link(Frank Forman's comment) from the Decca's set, but did not accept them as the first priority due to many disaccordances between the sources though it has relatively higher credibility.
