Berlin,
A major discovery

This first trip would mark the beginning of a long collaboration with Berlin's radio station. Faced with the immensity of the task and the richness of their archives, we decided to set up our own studio within the radio's own walls, in order to explore these thousands of original tapes.

Berlin's first treasures

Tape No. 1

SARAH VAUGHAN

LIVE AT THE BERLIN PHILHARMONIE 1969

This double recital, recorded on 9 November 1969 at the Berlin Philharmonic, takes place at a very special time in Sarah Vaughan's life.
To everyone's astonishment, the small, awkward 45-year-old gave one of the most masterful stage performances of her career that could be captured on tape. In almost two hours she silenced all misgivings by proving how her approach to music remained eminently topical. Surrounded with an elegance as discreet as it is stimulating by a trio that is a master in the art of understatement, free of mannerisms, still as virtuosic as ever, developing her vocal technique to its highest degree throughout her incredible tessitura, between naturalness and sophistication, simplicity and refinement, Sarah Vaughan shakes things up.

Tape No. 2

CLAUDIO ARRAU

THE UNRELEASED BEETHOVEN RECITAL

When he took the stage at the prestigious Hochschule für Musik in Berlin on 12 March 1959, Claudio Arrau, at the age of 56, was an artist at the height of his fame and in the fullness of his pianistic and intellectual qualities. This Beethoven recital by the great Claudio Arrau, recorded on 12 March 1959 at the Hochschule für Muzik in Berlin, previously unreleased, offers an astonishing version of the "Adieux", the "Appassionata" and of the Opus 110. An exceptional document.
