HISTORICAL 4 Acetate Records Louis Persinger WNYC 12/11/1943 Victory Concert
Description
This is a special item. 12/11/1943 Louis Persinger Violin Concert, WNYC radio broadcast Victory Concert from the New York Library! This was from a collection of items that belonged to Mr Persinger that were sold at auction. Four acetate 78 rpm records, Harrison Recording Studios. There are four records but according to the labels there should be a couple more. All of the labels have come off, some discs could use a cleaning and may have a few nicks but appear to be in great condition. I listened to the first one, A radio announcer introduces him as playing Nardini's violin Concerto in E major, I don't know if there are any other pieces played. No one has probably listened to this performance since 1943! This is one of two final listings of the historical recordings of Persinger that I have, A classical treasure. Louis Persinger (11 February 1887 – 31 December 1966) was an American violinist and pianist.
Persinger trained at the Leipzig Conservatory where he studied with Hans Becker, before finishing with Eugène Ysaÿe in Brussels and studying with Jacques Thibaud in France for two summers. He served as leader of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra and the Royal Opera Orchestra in Brussels before being appointed leader and assistant conductor of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1915 and succeeding Leopold Auer at the Juilliard School in New York in 1930.
He was best known as the teacher of great violinists Yehudi Menuhin, Ruggiero Ricci, Isaac Stern, Camilla Wicks, Almita Vamos, Fredell Lack, Guila Bustabo, Arnold Eidus, Donald Erickson, Zvi Zeitlin, Leonard Posner and Louise Behrend. He was also Ricci's piano accompanist for many recitals and recordings, and Menuhin's for his first few recordings.
