5 Stars. I dream of a recording of The Lark Ascending with Marie since Vaughan Williams dedicated it to her. Yes, Maud Powell, 1867-1920, born in Peru, Illinois, predated Marie but both are great. Check out the 6 Maud Powell recordings I just posted. She studied with William Lewis in Chicago, Henry Schradieck in Leipzig, Charles Dancla in Paris, and Joseph Joachim in Berlin. Her uncle, John Wesley Powell explored the Grand Canyon, founded the National Geographic Society, etc..
5 Stars. BTW Maud Powell, 1867-1920, was an incredible violinist born 17 years earlier and an American from the Midwest to boot. The recording (which I don't think exists) I dream of is Marie Hall playing The Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams dedicated to Marie. I posted 6 (so far) recordings of Maud Powell. She studied with William Lewis in Chicago, Henry Schradieck in Leipzig, Charles Dancla in Paris, and Joseph Joachim in Berlin. Her uncle John Wesley Powell was quite famous. Look him up!
Was this the sound Ralph Vaughn-Williams was imagining when he first heard the Lark singing? Hearing Marie Hall play makes me completely rethink modern interpretations of that piece.

I beg to differ with your info. Maud Powell was one of the first great women violinists. Certainly before this woman.

my source don't come from itune (that i don't know much) but it's a good thing if it is in itunes. Marie Hall will be more famous!

These sorts of pieces make it difficult to appreciate tone and other aspects of playing but she sounds like she would be fine.
