Daniel Auner – Fritz Kreisler’s Heirs

It is no exaggeration to call Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) one of the two or three most significant Austrian violinists in music history. Decades after his passing, his name remains a vibrant touchstone for music lovers worldwide. Viennese pianist Andrea Linsbauer, who has long immersed herself in Kreisler’s enduring legacy, now unveils a singular project with the album “Fritz Kreisler’s Heirs”. Here, she gathers five of Austria’s most celebrated violin virtuosos today Benjamin Schmid, Ekaterina Frolova, Leonhard Baumgartner, Christian Altenburger and Daniel Auner to offer their deeply personal interpretations of Kreisler’s miniature masterworks. That these artists have been Andrea Linsbauer’s recurring duo partners for years is evident in every note: each performance resonates with the intimacy of shared musical dialogue, honoring Kreisler’s own spirit of reinvention.
