This disc brings together recordings made in 1904 and 1910 which, despite the recording industry's infancy and the extraordinary limitations placed on the musicians, are amazingly good in both artistic and technical terms.

"Courtesy of exemplary Ward Marston transcriptions, these century-old recordings fully convey Kreisler's inimitable artistry." (BBC Music)
