Tibor Varga was six years old when he made his first public appearance. At ten, he took on his first solo role with an orchestra, giving his interpretation of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor op. 64. In 1934, at the age of 13, Varga made his first recordings (His Master’s Voice). At fourteen he took on his first concert tours taking him all around Europe and later all over the world. Discovered by Jenö Hubay, he was enrolled at the age of 10 at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, where he began to study with Franz Gabriel and Leo Weiner. Attracted by the conceptions of Joachim and Auer, he also maintained a long personal and musical friendship with Carl Flesch. As for Bartók, he invited the young violinist to turn the pages at his concerts and also accompanied him on the piano in a Sonata by Brahms. After that, his rise to stardom took off. This release features the famed violinist performing works by Beethoven, Mozart, Bruch, and Tchaikovsky, recorded in the 1950s and 1960s.
