pugnani kreisler preludium and allegro

Performer - Deanna Durbin
Music - Fritz Kreisler
Lyrics - Alice Mattullath

This song was written in 1915 and dedicated to great Irish tenor John McCormack. He made the first recording in 1916.

I often think of home Dee-ol-ee-ay
When I am all alone and far away;
I sing an old refrain, dee-ol-ee-ay
For it recalls to me a bygone day

It takes me back again to meadows fair
Where sunlight's golden rays beam everywhere
My childhood joys again come back to me
My mother's face in fancy too I see

It was my mother taught me how to sing
And to that memory my heart will cling
I'm never sad and alone while on my way
As long as I can sing Dee-ol-ee-ay

Though years have passed and gone, dee-ol-ee-ay
And though my heart is young my head is grey.
Yet still the echoes ring, dee-ol-ee-ay
And dear old memories forever stay.

This song will bring me visions full of light
And sweetest dreams throughout the darkest night
Of all that life can give, that song is best
I'll take it with me when I go to rest

And when at last my journey here is o'er
'Twill ring more joyfully than e'er before
For up to heavens I will take my lay
The angels, too, will sing dee-ol-ee-ay

Avri Levitan plays Kreisler Liebesleid with the members of the Lithuanian National Philharmonic Orchestra, Vilnius, January 2007 (encore of the concert)

Rare footage of the great master. His playing takes one back to a bygone era where elegance and charm characterized many of the early players.

Georg Kreisler & Barbara Peters, 1985

Ein Lied über das destruktive Gedankengut nicht nur frustrierter Faschisten, die zu rassistischen Morden, Krieg und Abschaffung von geistigem Gut führen. Georg Kreisler wurde 1938 durch die Nazis als "Jude klassifiziert" und emigrierte in die USA.

At request, I'm uploading this very rare recording of a lovely piece (an excerpt from a musical comedy "The Big Show") by the now forgotten American composer Hubbell (1879-1954). On this Victor recording from March 1st, 1917, Kreisler is accompanied by an orchestra conducted by Josef Pasternack.

At request, another moving Kreisler upload, the famous "Méditation de Thaïs" from Jules Massenet's homonym opera. On this recording, made for Victor on February 2nd, 1928, he was accompanied by pianist Carl Lamson.

Fritz Kreisler was an exquisite virtuoso on the violin. He made dozens of records during the first 25 jears of the 20th century, before the invention of electrical recording technique. This one is a brilliant interpretation of a lovely, mysterious and dreamlike piece by the outstanding, but largely forgotten British composer Cyril Scott (although very recently, some of his symphonic and piano works have been reissued). This recording for Victor was made on April 24th, 1922. NB The accompanying pianist remained uncredited.

Schön Rosmarin is yet another of the wonderful short pieces for violin and piano by Kreisler: a delightful pen-portrait of Rosmarin, who is clearly a beautiful and somewhat vivacious young girl. Fritz Kreisler with pianist Carl Lamson.

Eine kultig-bissige Satire auf die Polizei. Absolutes muss für jeden Kreisler fan. Genial.

Abram Shtern plays Fritz Kreisler's Liebesleid

This is Fritz Kreisler playing his own peice Liebeslied (sorry I don't have a video). I am in love with Kreisler's sound. His playing is so romantic, elegant, and beautiful that he must be regarded as one of the great violinists of all time. Plus, who can argue with a violinist who wrote the damn peice in the first place?
