The McCormack-Kreisler duo triumphs again! McCormack's technique is impeccable and this recording was made when his voice was at its best.
No one could execute a high-register pianissimo like him. Thanks very much for posting this exquisite piece!

Exquisite. McCormack and Kreisler made several gorgeous recordings with violin obligato. They did a joint concert tour of the British Isles around 1900.

This McCormack/Kreisler duet must be one of the most beautiful recordings of all time.
