This review is from: Kreisler Plays Kreisler (Audio CD)
No crap...really? OF COURSE THIS RECORDING IS A TRANSFER! YOU THINK THEY HAVE DIGITAL RECORDING TECHNOLOGY BACK THEN???? Man, that review from Delaware annoys me.
Go with the first review. This recording is a must. It is one of the great violin recordings. Even my old violin teacher advise me to play some of Kreisler stuff to improve techniques. Kreisler is a legend. Lesson and appreciate the beauties of the violin.

Learn from the Old Masters!, Jun 29 2000
This review is from: Kreisler Plays Kreisler (Audio CD)
I love these historical recordings--they give us a chance to study the performance practices of the Masters. Kreisler was a genius, and his refined playing is something that should be listened to by the players of today. They can learn much from his example.

disappointing technical quality, Aug 29 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Kreisler Plays Kreisler (Audio CD)
I realize that this cd was a transfer, but I have other music that was transferred from old recordings, and they sound much better than this. The disappointing technical quality of the sound on this CD disturbs me. In fact, it sounds worse than the vinyl I already own. Very loud hissing, some popping. The music doesn't actually sound like it's been recorded in a tunnel, but the sound is not as full as I had hoped.
On the other hand, I bought this after comparing Kreisler's performance with Joshua Bell on the samples; and I find I always prefer Kreisler. With no disrespect to Mr. Bell, I find I prefer the composer performing his own music.
