Among the outstanding though less well known mid 20th c. Soviet-era violinists, Boris Goldstein (1922-87), praised by Heifetz in his youth, ranks highly. Unfortunately Goldstein’s discography is very limited and these testimonials are rare. On the second volume of The Art of Boris Goldstein, IDIS presents three recordings from 1977-78 that finds the violinist performing with organist Claus Kühnl. On this CD, Goldstein and Kühnl present the famous Ciaccona by Tommaso Vitali, the Dialogue, op. 63 by Berthold Hummel (1925-2002) and the D minor Sonata by Joseph Gibbs (1699-1788).

Carlo Maria Giulini's very high level of achievement was the result of profound study, human and artistic sensitiveness and a great deal of experience. This double CD box collects four of his most beloved symphonies recorded between 1957 and 1968 with “ his” Philharmonia Orchestra, a period considered the best of his career. The performances, all extraordinary, have been long unavailable on CD.

With his versatility as a performer, noted virtuoso and Professor of Music Franco Gulli (1926-2001) in his career dealt with all the classics of the violin repertoire from Vivaldi to the contemporary composers. On this CD, IDIS offers Mr. Gulli’s interpretations of two classics of the 20th c. violin repertoire: Béla Bartók’s 2nd Violin Concerto, recorded in 1959 and played with incredible poetry and beauty of sound; and a 1957 recording of Sergei Prokofiev’s Concerto no 1 in D Major op 19, where Gulli is accompanied by the iconoclastic conductor Sergiu Celibidache.
