Description
This is an original Joseph Szigeti and Antal Dorati LP of "Beethoven Violin Concerto" on Mercury (Living Presence) Records (SR 90358). . These records, posters, and ephemera come from a Texas musician of many years who has decided to sell his vast and varied collection. A once in a lifetime chance. You won't find these on ebay or the internet! Joseph Szigeti (Hungarian: Szigeti József, [?jo???f ?si??ti]; 5 September 1892 – 19 February 1973) was a Hungarianviolinist. From the 1920s until 1960, Szigeti performed regularly around the world and recorded extensively. He also distinguished himself as a strong advocate of new music, and was the dedicatee of many new works by contemporary composers. Among the more notable pieces written for him are Ernest Bloch's Violin Concerto, Bartók's Rhapsody No. 1, and Eugène Ysaÿe's Solo Sonata No. 1. After retiring from the concert stage in 1960, he worked at teaching and writing until his death in 1973, at the age of 80.
