This is from his last recording session when
he was an old man. He knew how to keep your
eyes moist, didn't he? he had a touch no one
else ever had.

This is so beautiful. My father used to play it on the violin. Brings back many lovely memories.

Kreisler himself and Ruggero Ricci are the two masters that make me cry with this
piece

This is the first time I've ever listened to Kreisler actually play. Incredible.
-
The best interpretation probably, since it's from the composer...
-
Thanks for this - did you know that the WW1 fighter pilot ace Edward 'Mick' Mannock used to play this piece on his violin to help his mind escape the trauma of war?

Beautiful...

This is the most beautiful playing I ever heard

Wow. This is just brilliant! Thank you very much for uploading this
-
Wonderful, just wonderful. Does anyone know whose orchestration this is?
-
I believe that there is no existing video of Kreisler - I have a dvd of old masters and the only footage they could find of him for the disc was a news reel of him with his wife getting off an ocean liner and waving to the crowds.

Great lyricism and "nostalgia". Absolutely beautiful!!
