Title: Erick Friedman – Violin Showpieces (1992) [Reissue 2015]
Genre: Classical
Format: SACD ISO + DSF DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC

By 1957 Erick Friedman was regarded as one of the most promising and talented young American violinists, the artist who just might become the next Heifetz. Instead, he became a student of Heifetz and put his burgeoning career on hold for three years. While he enjoyed great success in the early ’60s, his star quickly dimmed and he eventually branched out into teaching and conducting. This RCA “Red Seal” 1962-63 recordings featuring Erick Friedman and the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Malcom Sargent & the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Walter Hendl, perform violin showpieces by Saint-Saëns, Paganini, Ravel and more.
