4.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect to be bowled over., 15 Dec 2002
By John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The great Austrian violinist and composer Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) did not undertake many concerto recordings. The two concertos featured on this CD he recorded twice however, firstly in Berlin in 1926 and again in London in the 1930s. Producer and restoration engineer Mark Obert-Thorn has worked his magic to provide us with the opportunity to listen with ease and full enjoyment to these ancient 1926 sets of 78s, comprising the two concertos and the two "encore" items that occupied their last sides. The Italian words "dolce" and "cantabile" are the best I can think of to describe Kreisler's playing and his approach to each concerto. Don't expect a performance of the Beethoven concerto that knocks you over by its boldness and punch. It's impact is aurally reduced further by the lamely conducted and distantly placed orchestra, suggesting a discretely orchestrated piano accompaniment. Kreisler, it should be remembered, provided the cadenzas usually heard in this concerto nowadays. Naxos has made all this available at the lowest possible price, together with the usual objective and non-judgmental notes provided by their regular annotator Keith Anderson.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1930's Kreisler, 15 Mar 2009
By J. Gibbons (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The recordings reissued here are, in fact, the London remakes from the 1930's and not those made in Berlin in the 1920's. As to which are the finer versions has been the subject of endless debate over the years and still a consensus has not emerged! Certainly, the sound quality and orchestral playing are markedly superior in the London recordings but Kreisler himself (although still sounding wonderful) has lost some of the technical dexterity he showed in the Berlin sessions.

However, at the very reasonable Naxos price, I would suggest acquiring both sets of recordings and making up your own mind as to which is best. It will be difficult though!

The remastering by the ever dependable Mark Obert Thorn is first class and the notes imformative. An essential purchase.
