As almost always, I had prepared myself for the concert with a piano partner and in a concertante performance in my discussion concert series. My first performance with the (huge) orchestra took place in Vienna. Munich was the second one. E\u00f6tv\u00f6s had an incredibly clear overview of the work, I was very pleased with the first rehearsal\u2014and one hour later I was lying with a high fever on the edge of a delirium in my hotel room. The Rundfunk sent a doctor, who ordered me to cancel all further rehearsals and promised to restore me to some extent until the dress rehearsal. “You can play,” she said, “but afterwards you’ll be on the end of your tether.\u201d And so it was. <\/p>\n

Performing Zimmermann\u2019s Concerto with just one rehearsal, one dress rehearsal, in the thralls of a fever… I have no memory of how I survived. I think I was just concentrating. I still remembering as if awakening from a dream seeing the composer Richard D\u00fcnser in the front row applauding. He says, it was that evening that he decided to write the Violin Concerto for me, which I later premiered with the Wiener Symphoniker, at the Bregenz Festival (see recordings). There were a number of people who wanted to congratulate me; I stood there with a runny nose, red eyes, laboriously resisting every touch…<\/p>\n

I am pleasantly surprised by the recording. Nevertheless, I would like to get the chance to compare it with the performance in Vienna, which I played in a healthy condition.<\/p>\n

We released the recording for the first time together with the concerts of Sch\u00f6nberg and Berg on CD (at LondonHall, see list). Later the company NEOS contacted me; they were planning an E\u00f6tv\u00f6s anniversary CD and wanted to know if I agree with a re-release of the recording and I was. As such there is a second possibility to obtain the recording: neos-music-shop.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>
