 William Primrose and Marian Anderson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
They have outdone themselves this time, with an inspired pairing of performances by Primrose, the most renowned violist of the 20th century, and Marian Anderson, the greatest singer ever to come from the U.S. The Primrose recordings are the two Brahms viola sonatas, recorded in 1937 and 1946.
Primrose, who epitomized Paul Doktor's doctrine of the viola as a "Bel Canto" instrument, found in Marian Anderson an ideal partner; the great songs of Brahms are transfigured by the remarkable intimacy of these two performers.
Primrose later was to write in his memoirs, that this recording session was one of the most rewarding moments in his artistic career.

Primrose quickly discovered that Toscanini's legendary temper was more than myth, yet he enjoyed an amicable relationship with the maestro for the four years he played in the orchestra.
Primrose was particularly amenable to the suggestion, for quartet playing was his "first and greatest love in music." Although his work with the symphony and the quartet sometimes kept him busy twelve hours a day, he wrote home to his father that he was "thankful, very thankful.
Primrose was also able to pursue his profound love for chamber music; in fact, through his chamber music affiliations he was able to perform with some of the great artists he had listened to as a young man in England and Scotland.

Pretty much all mid-period Primrose is now available, sometimes in competing transfers, and at first sight this might seem to be the case here.
The later recording catches Primrose’s tone well and I admired his cantilena in the slow movement as well as the rather perkier tempo he adopted in the finale, which is preferable to the sedate one with Goehr.
His handling of the quasi-cadential passages is tremendously impressive in its command; pizzicati spot on and in the Toccata, the rhythmic nuances are conveyed with dazzling precision.

Cohen and violist William Primrose recorded the piece as part of an English Music Society project on 22 July 1937.
The last movement is a sometimes lugubrious affair, but it still offers Primrose an opportunity to demonstrate why he was the natural successor to Lionel Tertis.

William Primrose, violist; NBC Symphony Orch/Arturo Toscanini, cond.
Toscanini was particularly fond of Harold in Italy, performing it four times on NBC—this is the first one, from a concert January 2, 1939 with William Primrose, who then was principal viola with the orchestra, as soloist.
When Toscanini heard this recording he showed his disapproval of Koussevitzky's conducting, by commenting, "Poor Primrose, Poor Primrose." This magnificent 1939 performance, considered to be one of the finest ever made of the work, here is coupled with other Berlioz from a concert April 5, 1941.

Apart from Lionel Tertis, who we are told was a difficult man, but a great player and protagonist for his instrument, no one did more to place the viola firmly on the musical map than William Primrose.
In the 1950s, when Primrose performed Walton's Concerto at the Royal Albert Hall, I was certainly aware of his tonal projection and platform presence, his sonorous tones enriched by tapestries of autumnal shadings reaching my balcony seat and beyond to the enormous dome above my head.
