Fritz Kreisler
(1875-1962)
One of the greatest violinists of all time, and whose compositions are still in the repertory today. Many
recordings exist, now on CD, so we can still be amazed at his talent.

Sergei Rachmaninoff
(1873--1943)
My favorite composer and pianist--a brilliant man whose music is finally getting the recognition it so rightly
deserves. You can find his recordings of his concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, his piano works and transcriptions,
and some recordings of him conducting his own works, available on CD.

Jascha Heifetz
(1901-1987)
An extraordinary violinist...not enough superlatives to describe his greatness. He recorded much of the
violin repetory, introduced many new concertos, and fortunately recorded and made them available for us to marvel at.

Arthur Rubinstein
(1887-1982)
One of the most brilliant pianists in history. Luckily, he left behind many recordings for us to enjoy.

Celebrated Hungarian pianist, composer and conductor, who created the symphonic poem and revolutionized
piano technique.
|
Frederic Chopin
(1810-1849)
Creator of a romantic style of compostition that was to influence later generations. A genius that died
much too soon.
