Michèle Auclair, at twenty one, has already achieved world recognition as a violin virtuoso. Born in Paris, the daughter of a noted painter, she started study of the violin at the age of six. She was enrolled in the National Conservatoire of Paris and won first prize upon graduation as well as first prize at the International Music Festival in Geneva. She made her debut in Paris appearing as soloist with the Orchestra de la Société des Concerts. Since then she appeared with all the French orchestras of national importance and played with ever increasing acclaim in Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, Greece and throughout South America. This season her American debut is being effected with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Charles Munch at which time she will play the Tchaikovsky Concerto. A pupil of Theodore Pashkus, the noted violin pedagogue of New York City, Michèle Auclair was considered at time to be most likely to succeed Erica Morini as the foremost feminine violinist of the world. Her repertory embraces virtually all the known works of forgotten masters, whose glory she is continuously reviving. An interesting sidelight on the Tchaikovsky is that Miss Auclair recorded the work with a Guarnerius del Gesù violin, which had been the property of Adolf Brodzky, violin virtuoso of the last century. It was Brodzky who gave the first performance of the Tchaikovsky Concerto when the work received its world première in Vienna in 1881 and also the initial American presentation more than a decade later at Carnegie Hall. Both the deceased virtuoso and Miss Auclair used the same Guarnerius which was much admired for its pure singing tone by Tchaikovsky himself.

1960年代初頭、高校生の時に初めて買ったレコードが、Fontana盤の、Auclailのメンコンでした。
The piano is way too Loud..
Very bad pianist and not great interpretation of Brahms...
I think, technology was not yet advanced as nowdays, it was recorded on 1961...
