The years 1919-24 saw Fritz Kreisler re-establish himself after the First World War. Initial hostility to him in America was eventually overcome, and the resumption of his recording schedule saw a steady stream of inimitable offerings from the most beloved violinist of the time. There are rarities in this sequence of acoustic sides, not least his recording of black American Clarence Cameron White’s spiritual setting and an elusive 1921 recording of Charles Dawes’s Melody in A. Additionally, Kreisler never rerecorded his beautiful performance of his own Aucassin and Nicolette. Ward Marston, producer and audio restoration producer “Kreisler's golden sound and inimitable sense of timing remains unequalled in these sweetmeats. One barely notices the inevitable surface noise of these fine transfers.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2013 ***** |

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. |

Tatjana Masurenko (viola) & Roglit Ishay (piano) Dmitri Shostakovich, Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Glazunov, Igor Stravinksy, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Piotr Tchaikovsky - this CD brings together six very different Russian composers from two centuries, all of whom have one thing in common: their close ties with St. Petersburg. “Well supported by pianist Roglit Ishay, she seeks to make some kind of statement about a city in which she herself studied, its rich interconnected legacy of composing talent and those magical summer nights when the latitude of 60 degrees north ensures that it never gets really dark. Students of her instrument will be fascinated to explore the mix of viola originals and arrangements...eloquent music-making, vividly captured” Gramophone Magazine, June 2011 “[the Preludes] work well on viola and piano and Ms. Masurenko and Ms. Ishay display wonderful artistry while admirably characterising their extremely diverse moods...this is a highly enjoyable disc, a varied selection of Russian pieces beautifully performed. Ms. Masurenko has what might be described as an attractively light, clear, slightly feathery tone, not at all nasal or booming.” MusicWeb International, January 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
