Mozart: The Great Sonatas for Violin & Piano

These recordings dating from 1969 to 1973, were acclaimed by the critics at the time, and are still considered benchmark interpretations even in this age of period practice. Henryk Szeryng was born in 1918 in Warsaw, the son of a pianist mother and a wealthy
industrialist father. By the age of 9 he had sufficient skill on the violin to play the Mendelssohn concerto for Huberman, a close friend of the family. Huberman recommended that the boy study with Flesch, which he did until he was 13. Flesch encouraged his pupils
to establish their own musical personality upon their performances. In 1933, his big break came, performing the Beethoven concerto with Bruno Walter in Warsaw.
Further study in Paris cemented his admiration for the French Violin School. He became friends with Enescu and Thibaud, and studied with Nadia Boulanger. His war years were spent in Mexico working for General Sikorski, and he succeeded in placing
4000 Polish refugees in the country.
Among his great recordings are the complete solo sonatas and partitas of Bach, the great concertos from Bach to Bartok and these recordings of the Mozart Sonatas with Ingrid Haebler. His playing is noble in style, almost aristocratic, and he adhered to the
text, everything is scrupulously prepared and executed.
