The Austrian-born Fritz Kreisler was one of the most famous and popular of all violinists. Andrew Manze explores the life and music-making of this great figure, including Kreisler's performances of Bach and Schubert's Duo in A, D574, with his friend Sergei Rachmaninov on piano. Plus some of Kreisler's own pieces played by Oscar Shumsky, Joshua Bell and the composer himself, including Liebesleid and Liebesfreud.
