I believe this album contained the first piece I had ever heard by Shostakovich (at the time, I thought it sounded pretty weird!), as well as by Tartini and Wieniawski.
All files going back to May 2012 are now up and running.
Wonderful!!! I'm delighted to see you up and running again so quickly. From my downloader's perspective, HotFile is as easy to use and as fast as MediaFire. Francescatti is one of my favorite violinists and it's great to be able to hear him in this set of short pieces.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection - many thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh Bryan, i love you.
ReplyDeleteYou brought me such wonderful music since i have found your blog.
Thank you!
I am always surprised that the Columbia classical catalog got as far as 4310 by 1949. That was a lot of LPs to have in the production line since the introduction of the LP in 1947.
ReplyDeleteNot modest at all - a real delight. Many thanks, Bryan.
ReplyDeleteI have this connection If anyone is interested. I have several other violin album collections. Ready new St 2056949094 by text message.
