The story of this unlucky musician and that of his cruel fate
- even after death, since he's now almost forgotten -
is narrated in the booklet (included).
Borchard was killed while being driven home after a concert on 23 August 1945:
his British driver misinterpreted an American sentry's hand signal to stop
and the sentry shot him dead.
Few surviving testimonials of his art, unfortunately.
In addition to this, there is an important CD released by Testament (2016).
On 5 & 6 September 1995 Abbado and the Berliner Philharmoniker
marked the anniversary of Borchard's death with performances of Mahler's 6th Symphony.
TCHAIKOVSKY
Nutcracker Suite, Romeo and Juliet
WEBER
Oberon, overture
GLAZUNOV
Stenka Razin

Dear Sir, I would like to order the 2nd Symphony by Mahler on a CD. I do not understand how to do...
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely yours.

Non capisco se Lei parla italiano ou si vous parlez français.
That's one heck of a Romeo and Juliet. Thanks!
I have this CD - it was the first Tahra release I bought.
Stenka Razin and Romeo and Juliet - the first BPO recordings after the war - are moving.
His tragic death launched Celibidache's career, in a certain sense, but he was a great conductor too. What a pity.
I did not know of the Testament release, will try to buy it.
Thank you for this gem.
Sorry, I'm not selling anything here. :)
You can download it from the blog, if you wish.
Obviously everything can be burned to CD, but without my intervention.
Hello Friends, do you have the recording of BERNSTEIN A FIRENZE? IATE is Very RARE!
