Comedy of Errors - Overture (Goldschmidt)

Symphony No.96 "Miracle" (Haydn)

Beatrice Cenci (Goldschmidt) Extracts as originally broadcast

After studying with Franz Schreker Goldschmidt was set to become one of the most significant of 20th-century German composers. However, in 1933 he was sacked and in 1935, fortunate enough to be interviewed by a Gestapo officer whose daughter was studying piano, he was allowed to leave for England. However, here he was a misfit in the musical scene, earning a living by teaching and some conducting. Only at the very end of his life did he begin to achieve recognition. These recordings, from his own collection, allow us to judge his ability as a conductor of a classical work and, though several hearings may be needed, his stature as a composer.

The GREAT VIOLINISTS Volume XXII

Franz ONDRICEK (2 Pathe) - Jules BOUCHERIT (7 Zonophone)

Jacques THIBAUD (6 Fonotipia & 1 Pathe) - Joseph SZIGETI (6 from 1908/1913)

A further issue in our collection of great violinists. Ondricek was a major violinist in the latter part of the 19th century; his records are rarissima. Boucherit's career was cut short by ill-health; his few recordings capture his remarkable style. Thibaud and Szigetti made many recordings after the Great War, they are represented here by there very uncommon early series.
