Enrico
Mainardi (1897-1976) was born in Milan and began playing cello
at just three years old. At the age of eight he made his public debut,
playing a sonata by Beethoven, and subsequently toured Italy as a child
prodigy. At just thirteen he played the Saint-Saëns concerto with
Sir Henry Wood and his orchestra. The First World War forced him to give
the instrument up for 4 years, and when he picked it up again he found
he had forgotten how to play.
In
disgust, he studied composition and piano in Rome and only resumed cello
studies at the age of 24, going to Berlin to study under Hugo Becker.
Between 1929-31 he played under Erich Kleiber at the Berlin state opera,
and, in 1933, was appointed professor of cello at the Academia di Santa
Cecilia in Rome. In 1941 he succeeded Becker at the Hochschule in Berlin.
He was well known as a performer in Germany, Italy, Switzerland and Scandinavia,
and as a teacher in France and England.
As
a performer Maindardi went on to make a number of recordings, both as
a soloist and in small chamber ensembles, most famously as a member of
a Piano Trio alongside Edwin Fischer and Wolfgang Schneiderhann. (NB.
Edwin Fischer's interpretation of Bach's Well-Tempered
Clavier features elsewhere on this site.)
It
is interesting to note that latterly there seems to have grown something
of a cult following around Mainardi, most especially with regard to some
of the more rare records he made with DGG in the 1950's, copies of which
have been recently selling for several hundreds of dollars each on Internet
auction sites.
This
excellent recording was another winner of a star award in The Record
Guide reviews of the 1950's, and is well worth a place in anyone's
collection. Another superb restoration by Peter Harrison of disk2disc.

FAQ
FLAC downloads use lossless compression - when replayed or transferred to disc they are bit- identical to original recordings.
16 BIT files are at full CD resolution, identical to our CD masters.
24 BIT files are at higher, studio master resolution, identical to our finished master files.
Please ensure you can play our 24 bit FLAC files before purchase - try our test files here.
Not all media players support FLAC yet, so you may need to convert to WAV or AIFF before playback. See our FLAC help guide
FLAC downloads come as a series of tracks in a ZIP archive file.
Our MP3 files are encoded at very high variable bitrates using the LAME encoder or at a constant rate of 320kbps.
Each recording is presented as a single, long MP3 which can be split using the CUE sheet at the bottom of the page, adding track titles and other information.
CD writing programs such as Nero and Burrrn can write these files directly to CD with all track information added using MP3+CUE - see our tutorial
Alternatively a cue splitter program can automatically cut and name the MP3 into individual MP3 tracks
There are also media players which use the MP3+CUE system, allowing gapless playback of all long MP3 files - essential for opera and many other classical works
