........想起一些五十年代末, 六十年代初的法國小公司牌子 LP, Accord, Music-disc, Erato.........有大量的器樂曲, 獨奏者除了上述的, 還有大提琴的 Andre Navarra, 小號的 Maurice Andre, 樂隊及指揮經常有不同的組合. 當中有一位極優秀的指揮, 就已被大眾差點遺忘了, 借此機會寫將出來, 希望留下紀錄. 他就是出生於 1900 年的 Karl Ristenpart, 至於卒年, 有些辭典說是 1969 年, 有些更說是 1967 年, 暫且存疑........

.........1999 年 Charles W. Scheel 替指揮家 Karl Ristenpart 出版了一本傳記, 書名就叫 "Karl Ristenpart" , 副題為 Die Werkstätten des Dirigenten: Berlin - Paris - Saarbrücken . 對這位昔
http://www.sdv-saar.de/html/ristpart.html

這書雖然只得 168 頁, 但有 50 頁插圖照片, 還附有一張 CD, 對這位差點被人們忘掉的指揮家, 應有極詳細的描述的. 而我當年在搜覓唱片之時, Karl Ristenpart 的大名是屢屢出現的, 而當年, 至少有十二個不同之唱片牌子, 分別在歐洲美加出版發行的. 例如 Erato, Club francais du Disdue, Nonesuch, Musical Heritage Society. 下面摘錄了一些 Karl Ristenpart 資料

Born – January 26, 1900 - Kiel, Germany
Died – December 24, 1967 – Lisbon, Portugal

The German conductor Karl Ristenpart studied at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin and Vienna.

In 1932 he became a conductor of the Berlin Chamber Orchestra. He also led concerts with the Radio Orchestra in Berlin. In 1946 he was named conductor of the Chamber Orchestra of RIAS (Radio in the American Sector of Berlin). In 1953 he became conductor of the Chamber Orchestra of the Saar, a noted ensemble of the Saarland Radio in Saarbrücken. Karl Ristenpart made many tours and recordings with this group.

而 Karl Ristenpart 与大指揮家 Hermann Scherchen 的錯縱複雜關係, 恐怕已不為人所知了
