@@vintagesounds3878 He had the misfortune of being a contemporary of Nathan Milstein, and not least Jascha Heifetz, otherwise he might well have a bigger place in the pantheon of violinists.
Very romantic, very distinctive sound. A tremendous violinist who went into music administration in NYC. Look up his Chausson Poeme with Stokowski, it's the only live performance we have of him. Stunning!
I had either a different performance by Seidel or the American Columbia pressing of this, with the red, blue, and white (?) exhibition awards banner on the right side of the disc label. I lost the disc years ago, but did manage to have a friend transfer it to CD. If I find the CD, I'll compare that with this.
Interesting! I've just realised that Seidel is one of the artists on a Columbia advertising disc that I have on my shelf. (It also features Charles Hackett and the Columbia Orchestra).
Thank you John for this joyful music !
@@francois7 Lovely, isn't it?
This man’s playing has a sincerity to it that I’ve only seen in an handful of violinist.
Yes, undoubtedly - yet he's one that tends to be forgotten.

@@lhlfrb Yes, that was obviously a huge problem for any violinist at that time.
Wow, it's hard to imagine a recording more beautiful - and with more class - than this one.
Thanks

@gerontius3 Thanks: yes, certainly a wonderful violinist.

제가 아주 많이 좋아하는 곡이에요. 들을 때마다 눈물 날 거 같아요. 이 연주는 더 슬프게 들리네요.
The first section is certainly introspective - but then it changes!
I seem to recall this was also recorded by the composer, ca. 1908?
It certainly was - in 1903 from memory. Some time ago, I uploaded a transfer of the No. 2 Catalogue pressing.
Yes, but leaving out the beautiful slow section which Seidel plays so convincingly.
