– Lumen LD 3.400 [LP] -> Doremi DHR-7987/8

– Exactly when or where Weissenberg’s threeLumen discs were made isn’t known, but they’ve long been rumored to be fromBelgium. I find little support for the claim – Lumen was a French record label,and the EMI release of the Czerny variations from the first LP was supervisedby Weissenberg himself and states Paris as the location. The date is even moreproblematic and guesses of both 1950 and 1953 have appeared in print. Thisfirst disc appears to have been pressed in 1955, and my guess is that therecordings were made very shortly prior to then – but it should be noted thatWeissenberg lived in the US at the time and didn’t move to Paris until1956/1957. Whether this casts doubt over the pressing date or not I will haveto leave to the reader to decide for now.

– Lumen LD 1.600 [EP] -> FLAC

– This was released anonymously under thepseudonym “Mr. Nobody” and the identity of the performer wasn’trevealed until half a century later (ca 2004). The anonymous publication waspreviously believed to be due to the “insincere” repertoire, whichcould have been a dangerous career move to record for a classical pianist inthe 1950s, but according to Weissenberg himself it was simply because he didn’tthink the result was good enough. The recording has been rumored to originatefrom the end of the Liszt session – it’s presently impossible to say whetherit’s true or not, but the EP appears to at least have been issued a year afterLiszt. In the mid-2010s manuscripts of early versions of four of the songs werediscovered by Weissenberg’s family. Before these were known Marc-André Hamelinhad notated all six arrangements himself – by ear, as played on the LP – andwent on to both make his own recording and to serve as editor for theirpublication in 2018. After these Lumen sessions Weissenberg was largely awayfrom public view for nearly a decade, spending his time studying and teachingand only made rare appearances as a pianist. Things only changed when hereceived an invitation from Herbert von Karajan to play with the BerlinPhilharmonic Orchestra in 1966, at which time he also landed an EMI contract.

– Also on Medici3078048 [DVD], which includes a 1993 interview with Christian Labrande whereWeissenberg is reminiscencing about the recording (see AlWe#025). It wasapparently filmed over a period of about ten days where he played a speciallybuilt muted piano to a soundtrack which had been recorded earlier (surelyAlWe#107 above). This allowed the cameramen to move around while Weissenbergplayed, without having to worry about creating noises which would otherwisehave disturbed the recording. This was long rumored to have been filmed byIngmar Bergman, which is incorrect. It was directed by Åke Falck, who heardWeissenberg play the work at a recital in Stockholm and approached himafterwards about the project. I recall having heard it was filmed in the StockExchange Building in Stockholm, but only anecdotally.

·Bach: Partita No.6 in Eminor, BWV 830 (from Klavierübung, Book I)

– This proved to be thecomplete program for this recital. The Chicago Theatre is not used for musicgenerally, and after the Partita Weissenberg explained to the audience thatduring the rehearsal earlier in the day he had been promised a sound shellwould be set up to improve the acoustics, but since this had not been done itwas impossible for him to continue, whereupon he left the stage and did notreturn. It sounds rather remarkable – my guess is that the real reason was hisillness (Parkinson), which he is clearly affected by at this concert and whichcaused him to interrupt several other concerts in coming years. Whatever thereason, this was Weissenberg’s last visit to Chicago.
