Encores & More

During the first part of the 20th century, short characteristic pieces that these days are almost only performed as encores played an important part for the violinist. Following a mostly Baroque "warm-up piece" and a well known violin sonata from the classical or romantic repertoire, artists such as Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, and Mischa Elman arranged the second part of their recitals with those charming, artistic, and expressive pieces characterized by a uniform, concise musical atmosphere. This recording was made on the occasion of a 12-part concert series for violin and piano, which the artists performed in the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums in Mannheim in 1997 and 1998. The idea was to introduce one musical cultural region at each concert. The first CD here presents the Hungarian concert, while the second combines selected works from the other programs.
