This album showcases recordings by two major violinists of the mid-20th century, Josef Hassid (1923–50) and Ida Haendel (1923/8*–2020). Both were from similar backgrounds, born in Poland of Jewish descent in the 1920s, and both had their first major successes in London in the late 1930s. Their recordings also document an important shared influence, the teaching of Carl Flesch (1873–1944). Flesch was a major virtuoso of the previous generation, but who made relatively few recordings (Ed: 1905-36 Odeon, Edison, Electrola, DGG). However, his artistic values, characterised by pure tone and solid technique, shine through in the recordings of his pupils, giving us a chance to hear a major school of violin playing from its earliest years.
