Horst Platen - Violin Concerto

[Justin]

Just uploaded a recording of Horst Platen's lovely violin concerto conducted by Platen himself.

Do any of the members have info on when this was composed? It is certainly in the romantic style, but I am having trouble pinpointing any particular decade.

There's also this performance on YouTube:

Interesting that both recordings should have the same error in the movement titles: Rythmisch instead of the correct Rhythmisch – and what on earth is bericht with a lower case 'b' supposed to mean?

[Holger]

Yes indeed, the titles of the first and third movements do not make sense. It seems reasonable that it should be "bewegt" instead of "bericht" (there is a "Bericht" in German but that's a noun and means "report"). To clarify the issue, I had a look at Tobias Bröker's catalogue of 20th century violin concertos, and indeed, this is true. In fact, here the titles are given as

I. Leicht bewegt
II. Sehr langsam
III. Rhythmisch bewegt.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

Indeed. Most remiss of me to copy and fail to check. I was in rather a hurry. I have corrected my original post.

Toskey doesn't list the work, I note.
