SAMUEL DUSHKIN REPERTOIRE VLN/PNO

Samuel Dushkin (1891-1976), advisor, duo partner and friend of Igor Stravinsky, wrote several transcriptions for his instrument, the violin, of then well-known and popular melodies from works by Stravinsky, of course, but also by other composers such as Bizet, Rachmaninov, Albéniz and Wieniawski. This compilation includes exotically tinged melodies by Paul Kirman, R. Felber and Alexander Sasonoff, juxtaposed with a beguiling waltz by Max Reger, tone paintings in Mussorgsky's 'Ripples', George Gershwin's jazzy 'Short Story' and many more. The collection is not complete without a movement from Stravinsky's 'L'Oiseau de feu' and a tango - spectacular music for the violin!
