-SYMPOSIUM 1071: Bach Prelude; Ernst: Nocturne in E (1909). Quite energic playing in the Bach. The Ernst is very lyrical and virtuosic with lots of portamenti. The orchestra's intonation is aweful.

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Ernst: Nocturne in E major op 8 (1910)

-SYMPOSIUM 1071: Tchaikovsky: Melodie Op 42 no 3; Brahms: Hungarian No 1 (arr. Joachim) (1920)

-MAGIC TALENT LABEL CD 48057: A VIOLIN RECITAL: works by Brahms, Chabrier, Kriesler, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Vieuxtemps, Wagner, Wieniawski, Schumann, Dvorvak, Faure and Ysaye himself. An interesting recital. The recordings date from 1912-1914. The playing is certainly 'dated' and the intonation is not always accurate but it is good playing.

-PAVILION RECORDS: OPAL CD 9851: Chabrier: Scherzo-Valse; Faure: Berceuse; Mendelssohn Concerto op 64 (III); Wieniawski: Mazurkas (Obertass and Dudziaiz); Brahms: Hungarian Dance no 5. Recorded in 1912. Certainly 'Titanic' playing but far from sinking!! :-)

-SYMPOSIUM 1071: Hubay: Czarajenelet 12 (1929) soulful playing

-SYMPOSIUM 1071: Schumann: Traumerei (1912). Lots of surface noise. Plays with lots of portamenti

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Schumann: Traumerei (1912).

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Dessau: Mazurka in E minor op 11 no 2.

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Schubert: Serenade. (1921). The tempo is rather slow and the piano accompaniment sounds rather choppy.

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD:

-SYMPOSIUM 1071: Bach Gavotte and Air (arr. Burmester). Very rhythmical playing but with piano accompaniment. Nice crisp bowing.

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD:

-SYMPOSIUM LABEL: 1032/3/4. These are the only recordings of him that I know of. There is alot of surface noise. They are however a real treat to lsiten too. The intonation is a bit off, and his playing does not seem to be as good as other violinsists of the same era such as Ysaye and David Oistrakt and Yehudi Mennuhin.

-SYMPOSIUM 1071: Sarasate: Carmen concert Fantasie. He takes his time at the ends of phrases, clean playing and the flagolets are not so clear when he speeds up.

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Brahms Hungarian Dance NO 6 in E flat (1929)

The duets with the tenor and piano accompaniment are very interesting. I think I would like to do something similar in a concert as well.

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Wieniawski: Souvenir de Moscou op6; Paganini: Nel cor piu variations op 38 (1903)

-BIDDULPH LAB 016: 'Kreisler & Thibaud play Mozart'. Mozart concerto no 6 (k268) (23 Feb 1927)

-PAVILION RECORDS: PEARL BVA 1 THE RECORDED VIOLIN VOL 1- THE HISTORY OF THE VIOLIN ON RECORD: Albeniz: Tango (2 July 1933); Debussy: The girl with flaxen hair (1927)

-BIDDULPH LAB066: Corelli 'La Folia' sonata; Handel: Sonata no 4 in D; Pugnani: Largo espressivo; Beethoven: Chorus of Dervishes; Wagner: Albumblatt; D'Ambrosio: Serenade; Kreisler: Aubade Provencale 'in the style of Couperin' and Tempo di Minuetto 'in the style of Pugnani'; Chausson: Poeme; Enesco violin sonata no 3 in A minor 'dans le caractere populaire Roumain'(Yehudi and his sister Hephzibah Menuhin play the sonata 1936). The Enesco recordings dated from 1924 and 1929. A noble tone in his Handel and overall good intonation compared with others of his generation. His technical ability is apparent in the Beethoven and Chausson.

-BIDDULPH LAB081-82: The Columbia recordings (2 cds.) Old fashioned playing with a Romantic stance. CD1: Bach Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland (arr. Humberman) and Air on a G string (arr. Wilhelmj); Schubert Moment Musical no 3 (arr. Auer), Ave Maria (arr. Wilhelmj); Chopin Nocturne in E flat (arr. Sarasate), Waltzes in G flat, C sharp minor (arr. Huberman); Brahms Hungarian Dance No 1 (arr. Joachim), Waltz in A flat (arr. Hochstein); Tchaikovsky: Melodie in E flat; Elgar La Capricieuse; Sarasate Romanza Andalusa; Zarzycki Mazurka. The Zarzycki is the only piece on this cd to show his technical skills. The other pieces demonstrate that he takes his time, a bit like Elman. CD2. BACH: Sarabande (Partita in B minor), Andante (Sonata in A minor); Beethoven 'Kreutzer' sonata with Ignaz Friedman; Chopin Nocturne in E flat (arr. Sarasate); Schubert Moment Musical No 3 (arr. Auer). The unaccompanied Bach is dated and full of Romantic portamenti and the chords are a little brash. In the Andante, the voices are very clear. I think the Beethoven sonata sonata brings out his best qualities, but i still think his chords are a little to strong. Friedman is a superb player!!

-Have you listened to his Tchaikovsky concerto? (BBC CD717 The Vintage Collection) He plays his teachers edition of it (Leopold Auer) who rewrote some of the passages of this 'unplayable russian stench' as he put it. I prefer the original version of the concerto not Auers.The Beethoven Romanze in G op 40 is also on this recording.

-The Vintage Collection volume 2 'The complete musician - violinist, composer, chamber music player and collaborator (BBC CD753) . An interesting collection of recordings of different pieces pieces ranging from Wieniawski, Sarasate, Raff, a Haydn String Quartet, and Elman's own composition 'In a Gondola/ Impromptu' and his arrangement of 'Eili Eili'.

These pieces were recorded in 1938, 1941 and the 1950s. He makes such a full bright sound. The playing is certainly musical and very expressive. I think he played for the sound tracks of a few Hollywood movies. The Prevost Intermezzo was the sound track in the movie of the same name with Leslie Howard and Ingrid Bergman. Howard played a vioinists who had an affair with the pianist played by Bergman. I remember watching this movie on a saturday morning matinee when I was 9 years old. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE RECORDINGS.

Ricci's playing is so express and he produces some very sweet tone which suits some of these pieces. However, I sometimes find his vibrato a tad too wobbly. Nevertheless, a fabulous recording.

Of course there are many blips from inaccuracies but it's the whole style and sense of the music and the performance that counts. I think note perfect is great but shouldn't be the be all and end all of musical performance to be attained in sacrifice to the overall performance of the musical work.

The fortepiano is very lyrical and the playing is more historically aware than Mitsuko Uchida's sensitive approach, and Bilson fills in many of the 'gaps', for example where Mozart wrote one note per bar in the right hand just before a cadence, he fills this in with a scale or broken chords.
