Fritz Kreisler was known as one of the most expressive violinists of his generation, and also for the sweet sound of his violin. The young Danish violinist Nikolaj Znaider plays on Kreisler's violin, a Guarnerius "del Gesu" 1741 and makes it sing beautifully again, in this performance of a few of Kreisler's miniatures. *** Kreisler: LIebesleid; Tempo di minuetto in the style of Pugnani; Andantino in the style of Martini; Schön Rosmarin. Nikolaj Znaider, violin; Deborah DeWolf Emery, piano +++ More information at http://www.znaider.com/ Recorded at WGBH's Fraser Performance Studio on January 12, 2010.

She played Mozart and Chopin for us in the Fraser Performance Studio. *** Mozart: Fantasy in D minor, K.397; Chopin: Ballade No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23. Lise de la Salle, piano +++ More info about Lise de la Salle: http://www.lisedelasalle.com/ Recorded in a live broadcast at WGBH's Fraser Performance Studio on November 10th, 2009.

Remembering our orchestral debut! Here's the first live performance from our new Fraser Performance Studio, back in September 2007, featuring the New England String Ensemble and violinist Irina Muresanu playing Hubay and Sarasate. Until then, we had been unable to feature a string orchestra because we just didn't have the space, but now we do!

This piece was probably inspired by the visit of Louis Bouffardin, a virtuoso on the transverse flute. *** Telemann: Suite for flute and strings in A minor. Julie Scolnik, flute, with the ensemble Mistral +++ More information: http://www.andoverchambermusic.org/ Recorded in a live broadcast at WGBH's Fraser Performance Studio on December 3rd, 2009.
