| « It is not generally known that Kreisler, one of the world’s greatest violinists, might perhaps, had he chosen, have attained equal fame as a pianist. That he plays the piano delightfully is shown in the recordings he has made of his own compositions for the Ampico. In them he displays the great artist that he is, in his exquisite phrasing and tastefully planned effects. These recordings are instinct with the same fascination exerted by his wonderful interpretations on the violin. To hear Kreisler, the violinist, is the privilege of the whole concert going world - to hear Kreisler, the pianist, is the exclusive privilege of the owner of an Ampico. » |
