On the 5th November 1973, in London, Bruno Maderna conducted his last concert. He died suddenly a few days later in his home town of Darmstadt; he knew he was dying, still the end came far earlier than even the most pessimistic had imagined. On his desk at home, they found untouched the score of Debussy's 'Pelleas et Melisande' which he had planned to conduct in Holland shortly afterwards.
The concert was broadcast by the BBC throughout Europe, as if to confirm the personal philosophy that Maderna had tried to communicate during his life as a conductor and a composter, a belief in a life open to every sort of stimulus and abounding in new possibilities.

05. A conversation with Bruno Maderna [25:05]
Until today many listeners of classical music still won't believe that Alfred Brendel has ever played (or even recorded) works by Bartok (e.g. the Sonata for two Pianos with Charlotte Zelka) or some other 'modern' composers, except perhaps Schoenberg. Unfortunately this suspicions got more or less confirmed by Brendel's former record label Turnabout/Vox, because his early Bartok recording has not been included in the CD re-releases so far.
In fact, however, he never recorded any of the Bartok concertos, and since the early 1970s he has nevermore played these works in concert. This live recording represents a rare document of his discography.
