The first CD release of a recording that was a legend in its lifetime. Campoli was, besides his many concert-platform accomplishments, a salon violinist of the first rank and naturally this easy ability to switch between the two domains gave him the edge over many other violinists of his day in this charming repertoire. When the recording was released, Fritz Kreisler himself admitted that it was better than he himself could play them! Released on the suggestion of David Tunley who wrote the first authorised biography of Campoli, the fascinating liner notes are contributed by him as well.
