Szigeti had a remarkable career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1892 in Budapest, where he studied with Jeno Hubay, one of most celebrated virtuosos and teachers of that golden era of violin playing, he was praised by the iconic German violinist Joseph Joachim at his Berlin debut in 1905; lived in London for several years following his acclaimed 1907 debut and played chamber music with, among others, Myra Hess and Ferruccio Busoni; was a frequent visitor after the war to the Soviet Union, where he introduced Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto; made his triumphant American debut at Carnegie Hall under Stokowski in 1925; toured the world during the 1930s before finally settling in the US in 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was in that year that Szigeti renewed his friendship with fellow Hungarian émigré Béla Bartók, and in April the two gave a now-legendary recital in Washington which featured Bartók's First Violin Rhapsody of 1928 - a work dedicated to and premiered by Szigeti in Europe. In May 1940, Columbia recorded their interpretation of this \"vehicle for Szigeti's biting and wholly magnificent fiddling\" (MusicWeb International) in New York. That performance appears here for the first time on album along with another important work by Bartók, the classic first recording of his Contrasts for clarinet, violin and piano, written for and performed with Szigeti and Benny Goodman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the new collection displays many more treasures of Szigeti's passionate dedication to chamber music: in Bach, Handel, Tartini, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Dvorák, Debussy, Ravel, Bloch, Busoni, Prokofiev, Stravinsky and Henry Cowell, collaborating with such artists as Andor Foldes - another Hungarian émigré - as well as with Mieczyslaw Horzowski, Myra Hess, Pablo Casals and Igor Stravinsky.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_3f509f59-fe4f-4f86-9886-843a741b8836_480x480.png?v=1641838621\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_transparent_blue_background_correct_version_3f509f59-fe4f-4f86-9886-843a741b8836_480x480.png?v=1641838621\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 Bartók: Violin Rhapsody No. 1, SZ.87 (Remastered)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 Bartók: Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin and Piano, SZ.111\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 Bloch: Three Pictures of Chassidic Life for Violin and Piano (Remastered)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Milhaud (Arr.
