Arthur Hartmann: Miniatures and Transcriptions for Violin and Piano
Catalogue Number: TOCC0089
La Tzigane, La Coquette and other miniatures for violin and piano
Solomia Soroka, violin Arthur Hartmann (1881–1956) was a Philadelphia-born violinist and composer – though he claimed he came from Hungary – whose Kreisler-like salon miniatures for violin and piano were once the toast of violinists everywhere. He was also a close friend of Debussy, a number of whose piano pieces he transcribed, performing them in Paris with the composer. This first recording of Hartmann’s charming pieces restores a forgotten but immediately attractive corner of the violin repertoire. Booklet texts (PDF) |
