Colin Tilney Plays Mozart, Vol. 3

Zino Francescatti (1902 - 1991) was one of the most loved and admired violinists of the 20th century. His musical lineage can be traced back to the legendary Niccolò Paganini. His father, a noted violinist and teacher, studied with Camillo Sivori (1815 - 1894) who was a student of Paganini. He performed internationally with the world leading orchestras and conductors. Francescatti is still considered a violin icon - for his great musicianship and performance style, his amazing virtuosity, and for his unique, distinctive beautiful, warm tone. All items on this album are released here for the first time ever.

Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) was a Lithuanian-born violinist, who is considered by many music scholars to have been the greatest violinist of all time. He moved to the United States as a teenager, where his Carnegie Hall debut was famously well-received. A virtuoso since childhood, Fritz Kreisler, another leading twentieth century violinist, wrote upon hearing Heifetz’s debut: “We might as well take our fiddles and break them across our knees.” This is the fifth volume from DOREMI of historic Heifetz recordings, and features the newly discovered recordings of the ten-year-old Jascha, made in Russia in 1911. It is their first release in 105 years.

The Reding & Piette Legacy

Smetana & Shostakovich: Piano Trios

Emil Gilels (1916-1985) was a Soviet pianist, and is regarded around the world as one of the greatest pianists of the twentieth century. Gilels began lessons with Yakov Tkach, a famous piano pedagogue, at the age of five. Gilels later credited Tkach’s strict training as the foundation of his technique. Tkach wrote of Gilels: “… Gilels possesses the abilities of one who is born solely for the purpose of becoming a pianist, and that with the required attention to his development, the USSR would in the future enrich itself with the acquisition of a world-renowned pianist.” Gilel’s great career was truly launched when he won First Prize at the Brussels competition in 1938. He was the first Soviet pianist to perform in the United States during the Cold War era, and he subsequently toured the West numerous times. This is the second DOREMI volume of rare Gilels recordings and broadcasts, featuring works from Alesander Alyabiev (1787-1851). All items are receiving here their first release.
