Bronisław Huberman's performance of Zarzycki's Mazurka in G showcases his impressive technique, including cutting spiccato, masterful rubato, and cunning melodic weaving, alongside his innate musicality.
Recording & Production
This album is part of the 'Archive Performances' series by Peter Biddulph Violins, dedicated to restoring historical recordings.
Performer Biography
Bronisław Huberman, the violinist on this recording, was known for communicating at a profound level, similar to pianists Ignaz Friedman, Alfred Cortot, and Artur Schnabel.
Interpretation
Huberman's Columbia recording of Bach's 'Air on the G String' reflects an earlier generation's playing style, described as 'old-fashioned' and 'a mellow, almost violistic elegy'.
Interpretation
Bronisław Huberman and Ignaz Friedman, the pianist on the 'Kreutzer' Sonata, were described as 'soul mates' on record, both favoring lightning inflections and sweeping phrases.
Recording & Production
These legendary interpretations have been carefully remastered and presented in state-of-the-art digital transfers from original material.
Recording & Production
Biddulph Recordings unearthed two extremely rare 1899 Berliner recordings of Bronisław Huberman, featuring works he later re-recorded for Columbia.
