About This Item
Recordings of Adolf Busch as a violinist and the leader of the Busch Quartet are legendary. However, Busch not only was the leading German violinist between the two world wars but also a composer who compiled a catalogue of more than a hundred works, three of which, and all chamber music, are featured here, played by the Ravinia Trio. The difficulties of the violin parts call for a well-versed violinist like Busch himself, and for the piano part of the much later quartet the pianist had to be familiar with classical music and with the more recent music of Reger, Schönberg, and Busoni.
