*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***This 7th volume of Fritz Kreislers complete recordings takes us to the end of his acoustic sessions and to the first to use the new Victor electric system. Kreisler was exceptionally busy after the turmoil of WWI with a comeback in America, groundbreaking global tours, and a warm welcome back to England after being considered an enemy alien during the war. At HMV he was joined by cellist Hugo Kreisler, whose fine singing legato adds a breath of Viennese style to the sound. At the introduction of microphone recording with its heightened realism and fidelity, Fritz Kreislers playing was still at its peak, also benefitting from his favourite 1733 Stradivarius in Victors New York studio.
