Alfredo Campoli made his debut as a solo violinist in 1930. Up to that time he was associated with Fred Hartley and his Quintet and the Serge Krish Septet.
The Trio which Campoli formed some time afterwards is in the tradition of the one made famous by the late de Groot, and is now considered its legitimate successor, as its popularity on the variety and cinema stage conclusively proves.
Alfredo Campoli is not, however, a violinist whom listeners should associate solely with the lighter kind of music. He studied at the Rome Conservatoire, has given recitals of classical music all over Europe, and has appeared as soloist in the Brahms Violin Concerto, broadcast from Bournemouth, under Sir Dan Godfrey.
