Guila Bustabo, a sixteen-year-old girl violinist, made her debut in this country in 1934 with such success that she was said by the critics fully to have justified Kreisler's prophecy that she would one day be one of the world's greatest violinists.
She is the daughter of a Franco Italian father, himself a professional violinist; her mother is a native of Bohemia. Her first appearance at a concert with orchestra was at four years of age. Most of her subsequent career has been passed in America; her fame runs from East to West of that continent.
She is now a mature artist. Her repertory is extensive, but she excel as an interpreter of the music of Brahms and Beethoven. Since her first appearance in England she has regularly given recitals and concerts in London and the provinces.
