For fans of short character pieces for violin and piano, this recording of violinist Janos Mate and pianist Benjamin Rawitz certainly offers a varied selection. The album is subtitled "From Schumann to Gershwin" and offers 19 tracks by composers ranging from the well-known to the little-known. Not to be confused with a CD of encores or show pieces ...
The music of Hungarian violinist and composer Jenö Hubay was almost unknown outside his home country just a few years ago, but several new releases have resuscitated his appealing music. The works of this Hungarian academic sound conservative as compared with those of Liszt even though he was active nearly a half century later, but they're never ...
The works of composer, violinist, and pedagogue Jenö Hubay were hardly known outside his native Hungary until recently, and the 11 works for violin and piano offered here, part of a larger series on the Hungaroton label, are claimed to have been recorded for the first time.
