Michael Taube was a conductor represented in the Pristine catalogue through Emanuel Feuermann’s 1928-29 recording of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

The recording places Taube with Feuermann and the Berlin State Opera Orchestra in one of the important early concerto documents of a great cellist’s career.

Taube’s role here is the practical concerto conductor’s art: providing shape, support and orchestral discipline around a commanding solo presence.

His page is justified by secure identity and the importance of the recording. Taube gives the Feuermann-Dvořák shelf its Berlin podium frame.
