This CD is the second volume featuring broadcast recordings of Fritz Kreisler made on The Bell Telephone Hour from 1944-50. This CD contains a number of short encore pieces for which the violinist was so renowned. Along with such perennial favorites such as Massenet’s ‘Meditation” from Thais and the Albeniz Tango, this CD includes several selections that the violinist never recorded commercially. New to the Kreisler discography are: Corelli’s ‘La Folia’ Sonata, the Rimsky-Korsakov Fantasy on Russian Themes, the Chausson Poeme, and two Rachmaninoff pieces: an arrangement of the principal theme from the slow movement from the Second Piano Concerto and the Prelude in G minor. The pristine source material captures Kreisler’s magnificently expressive tone with vivid presence.
