Bach performed by Henryk Szeryng - originally released as Odeon ODX 122/3/4 - appeared on 3 CBS records in France and was presented in a majestic box reference CBS Masterworks 78317, and the three records were also made available separately.

In the 1948 edtition the number of nrecords was reduced to 4x 12" Polydor 78 RPM discs with reference PD 516621/4. Obviously the popularity of this performance made it necessary to make new plates more than once.
The sound recording is great and shows the characteristic of Polydor 78s with tangible piano tone and clear, expressive violin.
This 10" Deutsche Grammophon disc was released in 1958 as is indicated on the back of the cover.

Luthier Max Möller added at the end of the Liner Notes: "Mr. de Klijn's Strad derives its name from Joseph Mariën a Belgian violinist who became Professor at the Chicago Conservatory of Music."

Iramac was a Dutch record label founded by Silvio Samama. In 1965 the first classical recordings were released. Artists of the Iramac catalog were Yi Kwei Sze (bass), Sydney Harth (violin), Brooks Smith (piano), Daniel Wayenberg (piano), Theo Olof (violin), Jean Decroos (cello), Danielle Dechenne (piano), David Zinman (conductor), Nap de Klijn (violin), Rudolf Jansen (piano), Han de Vries (oboe), Janny van Wering (harpsichord), Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp (cello), Sonia Anschutz (piano), The Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, The Hague Residency Orchestra, and Vanderzand (conductor). The company started a popular record label in order to generate extra income to finance the classical recordings. The popuIar side of the Iramac company became the new label Relax. Yet Iramac could not survive alongside the big record companies. In 1969 the label ceased to exist and several recordings were sold to other companies. See for more info on Dutch musicians the page about violinist Paul Godwin.

Theo Olof plays Johann Sebastian Bach: Sonatas & Partitas BWV

1001-1006
This set was recorded in April, 1979, to celebrate Olof's 50th anniversary as a violinist. Beautiful performances executed on his François Louis Pique violin (1797) from France.

The recordings were made in the 'Allemanskerk' in the small Dutch town of Oudkarspel some 34 miles North of Amsterdam.
Theo Olof was born in Cologne, Germany in 1924 as Theodor Olof Schmuckler but changed his family name to Olof (his second christian name) because of the rise of the Nazis and their National Socialist Democratic Workers Party (NSDAP). In the 1930s he found refuge in the Netherlands and had a remarkable and prosperous recording career.

The sequence on the three discs differs from the generally adopted order. The sequence could have been inspired by Johann Peter Kellner who made a copy in the early 1700s. Or it reflects the order in which the 6 works were recorded?

180 455 A - Partita in B
180 455 B - Sonata in G minor

Nap de Klijn plays a Stradivarius from 1714

Nap (Nathan) de Klijn (1909-1979) was married to pianist Alice Heksch (1936-1957). They played in a quartet, and as a duo. Famous are their recordings of several Mozart Sonatas. They are also admired playing violin gems together under their respective pseudonyms, Romano Rubato (Nap de Klijn) and Bianca Ritorno (Alice Heksch), for the Philips label issued in the S-R Series. The early death of Alice Heksch completely changed Nap de Klijn's career as a performer. In later years he performed with pianist Rudolf Jansen and recorded for the Iramac label.

Otto Büchner plays J.S. Bach

Partita in d minor BWV 1004

Partita in e minor BWV 1006

Otto Büchner is one of the few violinists who played the curved bow (Rundbogen, Bach Bogen). A violinist who played the curved bow who's name immediately comes to mind is Emil Telmanyi who recorded Bach's Three Sonatas and Three Partitas in the 1950s. With the curved bow more strings can be controled simultaniously and that results in a harmonious sound as in the popular hurdy-gurdy. The curved bow or archery bow therefore gives at certain instances a completely different sound than the majority of collectors of the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin are accustomed to. It is a pity that Otto Büchner did not record all 6. This is a relatively bright sounding recording.

Johanna Martzy plays Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Violin Concerto No. 4 in D minor, K 218

Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio conducted by Eugen Jochum

This is the famous recording made in the early 1950s which was immediatly loved by collectors of violin music on record and typically of performances by Johanna Martzy. By this time she preferred to play the Carlo Bergonzi violin as her Tononi had become too fragile and needed to be repaired every once in a while. Her style of playing is clean and precise. This copy of the Mozart Concerto is practically Near Mint which is amazing as it was pressed in September of 1955, almost 65 years ago. The cover is mechanically intact. What shows is that it has been handled and stored after being played.

Mikhail Fikhtengolts plays

Kreutzer Sonata - Ludwig van Beethoven
Sonata K 380 - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Lidiya Fikhtengolts at the piano

There were quite a few winners of the 1937 Eugene Ysaye Competition for violin held in Brussels. Mikhail Fichtengolz came on sixth place. First prize winner was David Oistrakh from then the USSR. Second was Ricardo Odnoposof (Austria). Elisabeth Guilels came 3rd. Lola Bobesco from Romania was 7th. And Paul Makanovitzki - who was from Sweden - came No. 8. It is interesting to view the pdf on the Queen Elisabeth Competition website and see the historic names of those who participated and the names of the jurors.
Fikhtengolz written in German as Fichtenholz, litterally means wood (timber) of the spruce tree.
When Mikhail Fikhtengoltz participated in 1937 he was about 17 years of age. But recognition came only in the mid 1960s after treatment by a psychotherapist for damage suffered during the Stalin era and afterwards, despite The Thaw set in by Nikita Krushchev.
This is a recording from 1973 which came as so many Melodiya records in various guises.

Herman Krebbers plays Violin Concerto of Ludwig van Beethoven with the Residency Orchestra conducted by Willem van Otterloo

This is the re-release of the recording made in the Concertgebouw (Amsterdam) on January 25 and 26, 1952. It was first issued on A00132L and here released as the first LP in the famous series with photographs of Ann Pickford made by renown Dutch photographer Paul Huf. Ann was depicted in various creative settings and configurations. Using a model was not new. RCA had done this already in 1954 and must have brought up the idea to create an entire series in the same vein. The reference number of this Beethoven recording is S04000L and was the first release in the series.

Philips S04000L. Record is VG to EX yet plays well througout. It is probably best played with a mono cartridge. But the collector who wants this edtion will certainly know how to enjoy this old LP record pressed in 1956. Obviously an item to add to an order of multiple items.

Precise and in-depth performance. It is majestic and communicative. This outstanding performance displays no superficial romanticism. His great playing was already evident when he at age 19 played this violin comcerto with Willem Mengelberg in 1943 and can be heard on YouTube. With Mengelberg he played an extraordinary cadenza. In this Philips recording he plays the cadenza of Joseph Joachim. The recording with Bernanrd Haitink was made at the occasion of Herman Krebbers's jubilee of 40 years as a soloist and also as leader of the Concertgebouw Orchestra.

Wolfgang Schneiderhan recorded Frank Martin's Violin Concerto with Ernest Ansermet for Decca. Later there was a recording made for the Candide label of VOX with the Orchestra of Radio Luxemburg conducted by the composer himself. The recording was made in 1955 and published in England in February 1956. Around 1960 the 10" mono record was deleted from the catalog. Ernest Ansermet and Frank Martin corresponded from 1934 until 1968 and Ansermet made an effort to promote the composer's music by leading performances and making a few recordings of works by Martin for the Decca label.

Three Dutch Violinists

Evening of Violins - AVOND DER VIOLEN

Herman Krebbers - Max Bruch: Violin Concerto No. 1 in G, Op. 26

Theo Olof - Peter Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D minor Op. 35

Emmy Verhey - Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: Violin Concerto in D (1822)

Herman Krebbers, Theo Olof and Emmy Verhey - Serenade for Three Violins and Chamber Orchestra composed by Lucas Vis in 1973 and dedicated to Bruno Maderna.

The Frysian Orchestra (Frysk Orkest) is conducted by Libor Pesek.

Herman Krebbers performs the Bruch Concerto as meticulously and precise as as he did his Beethoven and Brahms with Bernard Haitink on the Philips label, also recorded in the 1970s. The tempi are well chosen. Libor Pesek adds well to the intensity of the performance.
In the early days of the Philips label Krebbers recorded Beethoven, Paganini and Vieuxtemps with Willem van Otterloo and The Hague Residency Orchestra (r.1954).
Krebbers and Olof recorded Bach (Double Concerto, r.1951), Bartok (Duos for Two Violins, r.1954), and the Concerto for Two Violins by Henk Badings (dedicated to the two violinists, r.1955), in the 1950s for Philips.
When Philips made a deal with Columbia in the US, these violinists disappeared from the Philips rostrum of artists as Philips had now internationally sounding names like Zino Francescati and Isaac Stern in the catalog. But there is also the question whether a soloist wants to travel from one stage to another and devote his life entirely to a solo career while promoting his recordings at the same time.
Herman Krebbers recorded the Bruch Concerto (and also the Brahms) earlier with the Brabant Orchestra conducted by Hein Jordans.
Here is most certainly the only recording ever made of Theo Olof performing the Tchaikovsky Concerto.
And young Emmy Verhey, who started a promising career, plays the rarely recorded Concerto from 1822 composed by 13 year old Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

This is a Dutch EMI 2xLP set 5 C 183-24 926/27. Recording produced by Klaas A. Posthuma. Recording Technicians: André de Vries, Gerard Hali, and Ed Hilberts. Records and gatefold cover NM. Liner notes in Dutch only.

Szymon Goldberg - Violin
Radu Lupu - Piano

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
Sonatas for Piano and Violin K 379 and K 547

If you are searching for the Mozart Violin Sonatas performed by Szymon Goldberg and pianist Radu Lupu (who won the Cliburn Competition in 1966) on Decca SXL, you will have no results. The Sonatas recorded by Decca in the early 1970s (in fact from 1973 on) were never issued on the SXL label but were released on the Ace of Diamonds label, prefix SDD, instead.

The argument for this decision could be that Decca did not expect big sales and wanted to sell the records individually on the Ace of Diamonds label and as a complete series in DECCA box 13BB207/212. After all Decca had just made an impressive recording with Kyung Wha Chung of the Stravinsky and Walton Violin Concertos with Rudolf Kempe and engaged the young violinist from Korea to make more recordings. On top of that Szymon Goldberg could not be tagged as a star violinist like the younger Henryk Szeryng was - who interpreted the complete set of Sonatas with pianist Ingrid Haebler for Philips. Goldberg's stardom was noted when he was younger. Nevertheless both Goldberg and Szeryng do find a place on the shelf of the collector of violin recordings. On offer here is one individual Ace of Diamonds recording, reference SDD 517.

David Oistrakh plays Aram Khachaturian

Violin Concerto, conducted by the composer. Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra.

The first time David Oistrakh recorded this Concerto was in the 78 RPM era. In the mono days of the LP he did make a recording of the same, again with the composer, and also in the West with Sir Eugene Goossens. The recording on offer here is from the stereo era. In my opinion Oistrakh's performances are among the most beautiful and deep felt of this work by the Armenian composer.

Szymon Goldberg - Violin
Radu Lupu - Piano

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart:
Sonatas for Piano and Violin K 377 and K 526

If you are searching for the Mozart Violin Sonatas performed by Szymon Goldberg and pianist Radu Lupu on Decca SXL, you will have no results. The Sonatas recorded by Decca in the early 1970s (in fact from 1973 on) were never issued on the SXL label but were released on the Ace of Diamonds label, prefix SDD, instead.

The argument for this decision could be that Decca did not expect big sales and wanted to sell the records individually on the Ace of Diamonds label and as a complete series in DECCA box 13BB207/212. After all Decca had just made an impressive recording with Kyung Wha Chung of the Stravinsky and Walton Violin Concertos with Rudolf Kempe and engaged the young violinist from Korea to make more recordings. On top of that Szymon Goldberg could not be tagged as a star violinist like the younger Henryk Szeryng was - who interpreted the complete set of Sonatas with pianist Ingrid Haebler for Philips. Goldberg's stardom was noted when he was younger. Nevertheless both Goldberg and Szeryng do find a place on the shelf of the collector of violin recordings. On offer here is one individual Ace of Diamonds recording, reference SDD 517.

Ruggiero Ricci plays Violin Concertos with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conducted by Max Rudolf

Nicolo Paganini: Violin Concerto No. 2 in A minor
Camille Saint-Saëns: Violin Concerto No. 1 in A Major

From 1950 on American Decca had a business liaison with Deutsche Grammophon in Hannover. Deutsche Grammophon recordings were pressed in the US by Decca from American plates for the US market.
Several Decca recordings of artists like Lilian Fuchs, Halina Czerny-Stefanska, Andres Segovia, and of course Ruggiero Ricci, were issued by DGG in Europe. One of these was the mono version of American Decca DL710106, Deutsche Grammophon LPEM 19 478, pressed in 1965, also released in stereo. It is not easy to find the reference number of the stereo equivalent because the record had a short life. Three years later it was no longer listed in the Deutsche Grammophon catalog edition 1968/69.
In 1971 American Decca ceased to exist. As a result Deutsche Grammophon did no longer issue American Decca Recordings. Therefor the proliferation of both the stereo and the mono issues was not too high and are not easily encountered.

Henryk Szeryng plays Beethoven

ViolinConcerto in D, Op. 61

The Concertgebouw Orchestra is conducted by Bernard Haitink

Henryk Szeryng recorded this concerto several times, in London with Schmidt-Isserstedt (Mercury, 1966), in Paris with Thibaud (Odeon, 1954 or earlier), and in Bucharest with Conta (Electrecord, 1961). Here on offer is the performance with Bernard Haitink on Philips 6500 531, recorded on 26 and 27 April, 1973. While most violinists use Kreisler's cadenzas, Szeryng plays the cadenzas written by Joseph Joachim. It is probably also because of this fact, that Szeryng's interpretation has a very personal, almost mysterious, inclination.
