 Gramophone - Gramofile - The world's best classical music magazine
Rostal shades his tone with great subtlety in the haunting recollection of the main theme in the coda of the first movement (track 4, 10'19").
In the Elgar, Rostal is just as idiomatic, with a powerful, thrusting reading of the first movement and an account of the slow movement that brings out the element of free fantasy.
It is sad that Rostal was working at a time when there were far fewer opportunities to go into the recording studio, but this resurrection of three long-buried recordings is most welcome.

Max Rostal was among the few to whom it was granted to write a book at a time when he could look back on sixty years of teaching and performing.
Anyone who knew Max Rostal knew also about his greatest concern: his desire to pass on his life-long experience as a teacher and player to his pupils and colleagues.
I am aware that Max Rostal would have formulated his explanations with greater precision and made them even easier to grasp if it had been granted to him to give the work a final polish before publication.

Many of his students had successful careers, and, more remarkably, all of them sounded entirely different, as is shown by the three represented here.
Max Rostal shared with his mentor the virtuosity, the wide, expressive vibrato, and the unflagging commitment to the music, but Rostal’s tone had the greater purity, sweetness, warmth, and variability.
Although Busch was known primarily as a chamber musician, he was a popular, acclaimed virtuoso, especially as a young man, and never stopped performing concertos—as three discs, all recorded live, demonstrate.

The violinist is the eminent Max Rostal and the performance dates from 1952, the year before the pianist’s death, and was issued on the Westminster and Argo labels.
The pianist is in tremendous form, his intellectual capacities for assimilating new scores probably as advanced as his violinist colleague’s but with a technique palpably superior.
There are distinct intonational worries with Rostal and his occasionally thin and parched tone can grate, especially in the first two movements.

 Benjamin Frankel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
By the early 1930s, Frankel had become a highly demanded arranger an musical director in London; he gave up theater work in 1944, though, even though he retained an interest in movie composing until his death, writing over 100 scores.
Frankel also became widely-known as a serious composer after World War II; his first work to gain fame was the violin concerto dedicated "in the memory of 'the six million'", a reference to the Jews murdered during the Holocaust, commmissioned for the 1951 Festival of Britain and first performed by Max Rostal.
Frankel's most famous pieces include a cycle of five string quartets and eight symphonies as well as a number of concerti for violin and viola; his single most well-known piece is probably the First Sonata for Solo Violin, which, like his concerti, resulted from a long association with Max Rostal.
