Along with his friend Caruso, Fritz Kreisler (1875–1962) was one of the superstars of the early gramophone era. He was “the master musician among the violinists of the day” (New York Times); he died 50 years ago (29 January 1962). As a composer, he is famous for his Viennese-style melodies, such as Liebesfreud and Liebesleid, for his notorious pieces “in the style of” various 18th-century masters (which he passed off as their original works, claiming to have rediscovered them in old manuscripts), and for his arrangements of well-known works by other composers. We remember one of the world’s greatest violinists with an enticing 2CD set that includes a first time release on CD of a tribute LP from 1961, original Kreisler recordings, and an array of great modern violinists playing his works. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | David Garrett: Legacy
David Garrett’s new classical CD/DVD is the Beethoven Violin Concerto - a LEGACY to Beethoven (and Kreisler). This is an opportunity for fans of the 31-year-old German-born violinist, familiar with his rock-inspired concerts and CDs to discover his first love – classical music. The DVD part is divided into two sections; first: Live In Baden-Baden, Filmed At Festspielhaus. Live in Baden-Baden shows Garrett performing with The National Philharmonic Of Russia, and being led at the baton by Vladimir Spivakov and Lorenzo Coladonato; a phenomenal performance. Second comes, Playing For My Life – a career defining documentary on the life and work of David Garrett following his meteoric rise to fame and the new recording of his Legacy album. Legacy is a message from the man himself that he has never really been away. Throughout his rock-violin crossover years, playing pure classical violin has remained central to David Garrett’s life and work. BONUS DVD – Playing For My Life Live In Baden-Baden Live Concert Playing For My Life Documentary “Garrett's full-frontal account of the Beethoven is technically brilliant but misses lyricism.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2012 *** “The Beethoven has some lovely episodes...The accompanying DVD has more interest than is usual with such promotional videos. There are fascinating interviews with Garrett's teachers, Ida Haendel and Itzhak Perlman, and a memorable account of the strains of being a teenage virtuoso, making clear the liberating effect of Garrett's move to crossover performance.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
