 Sonata Recital: Joseph Szigeti and Bela Bartok, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
Joseph Szigeti, one of the most acclaimed violinists of the century, was a fervent advocate of modern music.
It was with that crushing burden that they transplanted their culture to a new, hopefully temporary home, in the symbolic form of a recital at the Library of Congress, the shrine of intellectual freedom.
But Bartok and Szigeti's highly-charged approach is nonetheless revelatory and highly valid, both on its own terms and as a sincere tribute from one great composer to another.

 classical music - andante - joseph szigeti: violin
Joseph Szigeti occupied a unique place among 20th-century violinists.
Rather, Szigeti was known for the broad culture, profound artistry and intellectual probity of his performances.
Yet Szigeti was equally distinguished in the repertory of the Baroque, Classical and Romantic eras.

 Joseph Szigeti, violinist
Szigeti was one of the first violinists I listened to on record, because of his reputation as a "thinking musician" and his association with Bartok.
Joseph Szigeti was one of the greatest violinists of the twentieth century.
Szigeti's fascinating book (from Dover) is a worthwhile possession...lots of intriguing thoughts on violin playing as well as memorable reminiscences of early 20th century players and programming...Not all his ideas are universal...his specified technique and very personal fingering concepts are worthy of consideration...His diction and grammar are old school and a joy to read.

 BRAHMS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A previous review of Szigeti's prewar Beethoven concerto addressed the cause and consequence of arthritis that attacked his violin playing before the age of 50.
Beecham and Szigeti were felicitous partners (despite my disliking Sir Thomas' accompaniment in the Mozart concerto on that earlier Naxos CD, with Beethoven), who scaled two peaks: this patrician performance of Mendelssohn, both subtle and incisive, and the Prokofiev First Concerto, to this day nonpareil.
Szigeti played Joachim's cadenzas as if Mendelssohn himself had written them, and overall lent the concerto a stature and dignity that too many performances since 1933 have turned into treacle.

 TIME.com: Szigeti on the Air -- Jan. 20, 1941 -- Page 1
Tall, lean, balding Joseph Szigeti (rhymes with spaghetti) is not the silky-slickest violinist in the world (Jascha Heifetz is), nor the velvety-mellowest (Fritz Kreisler is).
Szigeti has spent most of his musical life in London and Paris—where he had to leave most of his possessions in a bombproof shelter.
Sharp-eared, sharp-minded Szigeti has had some notable successes, as checkups proved, in identifying a player's background (a violinist was "a pupil of a pupil of Auer"), or guessing at a lady-pianist's love-life (none).

Joseph Szigeti’s reputation was particularly exalted among his fellow violinists.
Szigeti visited CBC’s Montreal studios on three separate occasions and those performances are gathered on this DVD release.
Though Szigeti was already in his 60s when these performances were filmed, the qualities in his playing so cherished by his admirers are readily apparent.

 PROKOFIEV: Violin Sonata No. 1 in F Minor; Violin Sonata No. 2 in D Major; STRAVINSKY: Duo concertante; Russian ...
Prokofiev occupies a special place in Szigeti's output; witness his deft handling of the 5/8 and 7/8 rhythms in the Allegrissimo, the rapid alternations of arco and pizzicato passages, all while maintaining the basic, pseudo-Roumanian pulse.
Szigeti's recording (7 and 8 December 1945) is taken from noisy CBS acetates which engineer Rick Torres has cleaned up considerably.
Stravinsky's considerable keyboard talents accompany Szigeti in the 1933 Duo concertante (11-13 October 1945), a piece hewn along the lines of neo-Hellenic and neo-Roman colloquys in five brief movements for violin and piano.

 Joseph Szigeti: Szigeti on the Violin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Szigeti was also a scholar of music, a champion of many important 20th-century works for the violin, an astute observer and critic of the contemporary music world, and above all, an extraordinary musical interpreter with a pas- sionate concern for the accurate, authentic presentation of great music.
These traits are also basic to Szigeti on the Violin, his genial, insightful tour of the modern world of music and musicianship.
Szigeti’s topics, though extraordinarily diverse, are designed to exhibit the hard-won lessons of an elder statesman.

The Szigeti performances of mostly transcribed baroque music began in London with the Tartini/Pente, Bach/Szigeti and Bach Double during 1937, with faceless Walter Goehr conducting a deservingly anonymous group of players.
Carl Flesch, Szigeti’s partner in the latter work (the only one not transcribed), may have been past his prime as a player – although his renown as a teacher was transatlantic – but he is a better violinist here than Tully Potter’s annotation insists.
What survives here, with the possible exception of the “Double,” is not kind to his memory, and even as a wholehearted Szigeti admirer I cannot endorse these resurrections or their release.

Joseph Szigeti was born on September 5, 1892 in the Carpathian village of Maramaros-Sziget, near Budapest, Hungary.
This illness forced the violinist to halt his concert activities and to retire briefly in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland.
Following his treatment, Szigeti was appointed as professor of violin at the Geneva Conservatory in 1917.

Recordings for CBS made 1949-1954 by Hungarian violin virtuoso Joseph Szigeti (1892-1973), here restored quietly by David Hermann, which reveal the tensile strength and intellectual energy he still possessed, even as his great technical powers had begun to decline.
The rasping, cat-gutty sound Szigeti projects, its chaste vibrato, manages to impart a host of poignant emotions, the sense of man's precarious presence in the cosmos.
The other major entree on this disc is the 2 December 1949 inscription of Bach's C Major Unaccompanied Sonata (ML 4286), whose movements display Szigeti's long, sustained line and innate vocalization of Bach's often punishing polyphony.

Szigeti plays and conducts his own arrangement of Tartini's D minor concerto (D. 45), and has Fritz Stiedry on hand in the violin restoration of the marvelous Harpsichord Concerto BWV 1052--this latter an especially remarkable performance that sustains an impressive level of drive and passion in the work's outer movements.

There is beauty, challenge, and yes, perfection that set apart Bach’s six suites for unaccompanied violin (three sonatas and three partitas) and hold performers and audiences alike in awe.
Following a 1924 performance of one of these works by famed virtuoso Joseph Szigeti, one of the world’s great violinists, Belgian Eugène Ysaÿe (1858-1931), felt compelled to shut himself in his room and in 24 hours sketch out his own highly original six solo sonatas.
Completed shortly thereafter, each was dedicated to a prominent virtuoso of the day: Hungarian Joseph Szigeti, Frenchman Jacques Thibaud, Rumanian Georges Enesco, Austrian Fritz Kreisler, fellow Belgian and student Mathieu Crickboom, and Spaniard Manuel Quiroga.
