Kreisler
Berl Senofsky (violin): American Virtuoso (Rhine Classics)
Strong, masculine playing from Berl Senofsky – along with some less than stellar performances [JW]
Alfred Dubois (violin): Mozart & Vieuxtemps Violin Concertos (Biddulph)
Superior transfers of a great violinist, cut down too soon [JW]
Berl Senofsky (violin) American Virtuoso (Rhine Classics)
Although something of a mixed bag, there’s much to please the Senofsky admirer enshrined in these two discs [SG]
René Benedetti (violin): In Concert (Biddulph)
Suave, stylish, scintillating and virtuosic; René Benedetti in his prime [JW]
Fairy Tales (Quartz)
An eclectic programme, dynamically played if lacking complete virtuosic ease [NB]
Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No 2 (Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings)
In all respects, a worthy 150th anniversary tribute to Rachmaninov [JQ]
Kathleen Parlow (violin): Complete Recordings (Biddulph)
A long overdue salute to an overlooked Auer student and a Canadian violinist of technical polish [JW]
Estrellita (Orchid Classics)
The album works equally well for close listening and as agreeable background music late at night [GF]
Fritz Kreisler: Bell Telephone Vol. 3 (Biddulph)
Kreisler’s 1945-50 radio broadcasts continue with a consistently good selection [JW]
