About the album

Classica (FR): The most original album os the one dedicated to Fritz Kreisler's recordings... at the piano! In these rolls dated 1919-27 he plays his own compositions with the charme and humor we know he had as violinist. In an astounding sound quality, he reveals an exquisite finger flow and agility, but especially a rhythmic freedome he could not indulge in on the violin.
„Es ist nicht allgemein bekannt, dass Kreisler, einer der größten Geiger der Welt, vielleicht, wenn er sich dafür entschieden hätte, als Pianist ebenso berühmt geworden wäre. Dass er wunderbar Klavier spielt, zeigen die Aufnahmen, die er von seinen eigenen Kompositionen für das Ampico System gemacht hat. In ihnen zeigt er sich als großer Künstler, mit seiner exquisiten Phrasierung und seinen geschmackvoll geplanten Effekten. Diese Aufnahmen sind genauso faszinierend wie seine wunderbaren Interpretationen auf der Geige. Den Geiger Kreisler zu hören, ist das Privileg der gesamten Konzertwelt – den Pianisten Kreisler zu hören, ist das exklusive Privileg des Besitzers eines Ampico. »

Fritz Kreisler (piano)

Friedrich 'Fritz' Kreisler was an Austrian-born violinist and composer. One of the most noted violin masters of his or any other day, and regarded as one of the greatest violin masters of all time, he was known for his sweet tone and expressive phrasing. Like many great violinists of his generation, he produced a characteristic sound which was immediately recognisable as his own. Although it derived in many respects from the Franco-Belgian school, his style is nonetheless reminiscent of the gemütlich (cozy) lifestyle of pre-war Vienna.
