Documents
A record, which is very rare, with the Angelicum Orchestra of Milan (release: LPA 970 with Purcell’s Fairy Queen and a
suite of Elizabethan dances) has been wrongly attributed to Scherchen, who had, in fact, only made the musical
transcription of these anonymous dances. It is Bruno Maderna who conducts these two works.
The Quartet for Strings, Op. 1 that Scherchen composed in 1915, during his captivity in Russia has been recorded by the
Erato Quartet of Basel (it is a world première recording). Releases: Gravesano 1891-1 and Relief CR 911-013 (CD).
Scherchen had brought back from Russia a revolutionary song dating from 1897 and called «Brüder, zur Sonne, zur
Freiheit» (“Brothers, to the Sun, to Liberty”). The words were by Leonid Petrovich Radin and Scherchen made a German
adaptation of them that was recorded by the Schubert Chorus of Berlin. This document is part of the record Eterna 810052
(“Music of the Workers’ Movement”). It is not certain whether Scherchen conducts this recording. This song became the
Schubert Chorus’ anthem and was renamed The March of the Red Guards.
Several issues of the magazine Gravesaner Blätter were accompanied by a 45-r.p.m. record:
