During 1942 and 1944 Gerhard Taschner, at the time leader of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Furtwängler, made commercial shellac recordings with solo and chamber music. His complete 78rpm recordings are published here for the first time.
A special rarity is the live recording of the Tchaikovsky Concerto (preserved on an early bootleg LP under pseudonym).
