  kreisler
Kreisler was born in Vienna in a Jewish family.
Kreisler wrote a number of pieces for the violin, some of them in the style of other composers.
When critics complained, Kreisler answered that critics had already deemed the compositions worthy: "The name changes, the value remains".

 Carlo Bergonzi, c. 1740, "Kreisler", ex. Perlman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The violin passed from Kreisler to a well-known violinist and teacher, Angel Reyes (pronounced An-hell), thence to Perlman, thence to Ruben Gonzales who was one of the Chicago Symphony concertmasters until about three years ago, thence to the present owner.
The Kreisler Bergonzi is one of the most perfectly preserved of all Cremonese instruments having its original neck and virtually all its varnish.
Itzak Perlman recorded the Khachaturian Concerto on the Kreisler Bergonzi (and he is pictured on the cover of that recording holding the instrument).

 Bergonzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bergonzi family was an illustrious group of luthiers in Cremona, Italy, a city that has a rich tradition of stringed instrument makers.
The first and most famous luthier of the family was Carlo Bergonzi (1683-1747).
One of the most famous of Carlo's violins is known as the Kreisler Bergonzi, named after violinst Fritz Kreisler.

The performers on this new Naxos issue ably recreate the nostalgic atmosphere the piece ideally demands, with Peter Zazofsky's approach closely mirroring Kreisler's own, exemplified in his occasional use of glissando, a pleasingly "old fashioned" use of vibrato, and some effectively-nuanced finger substitutions.
Zazofsky and pianist Paul Posnak also deliver a fine rendition of Cadman's sonata for violin and piano, written in 1930 for Sol Cohen, but the most significant discoveries on this disc arguably are the larger scale chamber works involving strings and piano--the Piano Trio in D major (1914) and the G minor Piano Quintet (1937).
This is a further valuable inclusion in Naxos' "American Classics" series, and the excellence of the performances and sound reminds me that it would also be good to have a commercial recording of Cadman's Pennsylvania Symphony of 1940.

 Kreisler Bergonzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kreisler Bergonzi is a famous violin made by the renown Italian luthier Carlo Bergonzi in 1740.
After being forced to donate his valuable Guarnerius to the Library of Congress to settle a tax debt with the IRS, Kreisler used this Bergonzi violin as his main instrument for performing for over ten years near the end of his career.
In 1995 the instrument was purchased by the noted violin collector David Fulton who retained it until 2006 when the violin was purchased by the Dextra Musica foundation for the use of the great Norwegian virtuoso Henning Kraggerud, in whose hands the instrument may again be heard by the public.

It was not until the advent of the fiery, virtuoso playing, pioneered by Paganini, that del Gesu's violins came into their own, more than sixty years after the master's death.
We are pleased to offer a careful reproduction of one of del Gesu's finest violins, "The Kreisler", after famed 20th century violinst, Fritz Kreisler.

 Arbiter Liner Notes
The aging Kreisler was approached by friends concerned that after his retirement no one would do justice to his original compositions.
Kreisler assured them that Morini played his music even better than he had.
(Kreisler also preferred Nurnberger bows.) Like Morini's Stradivarius (heard on all her recordings), the Bergonzi violin used at her 1920 American debut had been procured for her by her father, who was a shrewd violin expert and trader.

Carlo Bergonzi's output was among the smallest of the Cremonese makers but is characterised by outstanding quality, as this violin shows.
The full charm of 'del Gesù' flourishes in the 'Kreisler', the tone of which has been magnificently demonstrated by one of this century's most remarkable players.

The list of orchestras that David McCallum led includes very many international renoun, and conductors like Beecham, Bush, Klemperer, Sargent, and Toscanini had every confidence in him, they recognized his gifts, and were glad to see him at the leader's desk.
He was in fact anything but a hard man; gentle of voice and coaxing rather than domineering, he could draw the loveliest of sounds from a section of players of mixed styles and abilities.
His own tone, produced alike from one of his valuable--he had a Guarnerius, an Amati and a Bergonzi at one time, I believe--or any old fiddle he was asked to try, was warm and nearest I ever heard to that of his particular idol, Fritz Kreisler.

Lavishly illustrated with images of the violin in fine art and documentary photography, the book also includes many portraits of the author, and of other composers and performers.
