opis

This new recording presents two famous violinists who were equally important teachers and composers as well: Leopold Von Auer (1845-1930) and Otokar Ševčík (1852-1934).

Leopold Auer was born in Veszprém/Hungary. He became one of the most celebrated violinists of his time, whereas he counted among his pupils Efrem Zimbalist, Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman and Nathan Milstein.

Otokar Ševčík was born in Bohemia. After a long solo career as a violin virtuoso, he became a sought-after teacher (he taught in Salzburg, Vienna, Prague, Kharkiv, Kiev, London, Boston, Chicago, and New York), conductor, composer and above all the author of a new method in 26 volumes which revolutionized the history of violin teaching throughout the world. Together with Leopold Von Auer, Joseph Joachim, August Wilhelm and Carl Flesch, Ševčík belongs to the giants of teaching who influenced the violin tradition worldwide in the 19th and early 20th century.

This new recording presents works for violin and piano of Auer and Ševčík, highly attractive music, inspired by their own cultural background, and exploiting the possibilities of the violin to the extreme limits.

Played by Mauro Tortorelli (violin) and Angela Meluso (piano), whose previous recordings for Brilliant Classics (Saint-Saëns, Milhaud, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Scalero) were highly praised in the international press.
