Just fascinating! Clearly Hugo was a more sentimental, "Old School" player--slower, more slides-- a bit laconic.

When Fritz played, the sentiment was similar but the tempi were brisker and musically less heart-on-sleeve.

This is a wonderful present. Thanks a million.

I'm glad you enjoyed this upload. Hugo and Fritz do make a nice duo.

This is absolutely amazing. Fritz on piano? In his own piece? Backing his brother on the lead? Just keep it coming, thou Roman warrior :)

I do have a few other pieces of them playing together. I thought the CD was quite the find myself. ;)

This is truly beautiful. Thank you very much for uploading it. Even when Fritz Kreisler recorded this he had to settle for an accompanist. This is just two people making music Hugo playing his brothers beautiful composition and Fritz providing us with the other half of the piece on the piano that we never get to hear. It is a wonderful collaboration. Thanks again!

You're welcome. I was so lucky to find this 2 disc set of old Kreisler recordings. Most are just Fritz playing some of his pieces and other works. But, there's quite a few tracks of Hugo and Fritz playing together and 2 pieces where Fritz plays the piano while Hugo plays the cello. So, I decided to upload those 2 pieces. I'll probably upload some of the other pieces later.

Sweet. I wish I could be there to hear you play live.

Hey, I uploaded two videos. I know that the subscription list doesn't usually show all new videos from a user. I have another upload of Hugo and Kreisler playing another piece. It's a pretty nice piece. I wish I had the score for it.
