    Can you name at least five famous violinists who made recordings between 1901 and 1910?

    Question #97809. Asked by Cem1942. (Jul 22 08 6:53 AM)

    		Yes I can:

    1) Joseph Joachim recorded J. S. Bach: Partita for Violin solo no 1 in B minor in 1903.

    2) Maud Powell Powell transformed musical taste and set an enduring standard for violin performance as the first solo intrumentalist to record for the Victor Talking Machine Company's celebrity artist series (Red Seal label) in 1904.

    3) Jan Kubelík- The Gramophone Company recorded him as obbligato to Dame Nellie Melba in 1904, a match which reflected the classical phrasing, tonal purity and security of his art and was an ideal complement to it. Their early version of the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria (G.C. 03033) was recorded twice, in October 1904 and again in February 1905, and this was one of the great early classics of the gramophone, one of those records which 'made' the instrument a popular success, though the double celebrity single-sided title retailed at one guinea.

    4) Fritz Kreisler: In 1910, Kreisler gave the premiere of Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto.

    5) Mischa Elman- though I cannot site a source for an actual recording off the top of my head.
