"UCCP7088 Bach: Violin Concertos Henryk Szeryng One of the most famous violinists of the 20th century, Szeryng is known as one of the best Bach performers. This album contains all three of Bach's Violin Concertos. Szeryng recorded these works several times, but this is his first recording on Philips. This is a masterpiece that fully expresses the structural beauty of Bach's music while also incorporating spiritual sublimity. Rival, who plays second violin, is the concertmaster of the Winterthur Symphony Orchestra and is also well-known as a soloist." (Translation from Japanese. Google translator)

Vadim Gluzman Honors Violinist Henryk Szeryng
"What would you say has been Henryk Szeryng’s most impactful contribution to the violin and music world? What, in your opinion, made him so special?
Undoubtedly, Henryk Szeryng belongs to the “pantheon” of the greatest musicians of all time. Luckily for us, he left an enormous discography that gives us an incredible view of his artistry. Szeryng’s elegance, sophistication, depth of emotion, and absolute dedication to the score are truly one of a kind. His mastery of the instrument were second to none - he was a true aristocrat among violinists!
Szeryng's dedication to philanthropy, cultural diplomacy, education, and support of young musicians is a side of his life, that perhaps is lesser known to the general public. He gave in order to give, not in order to be recognized. Szeryng has donated Stradivari and Guarneri violins from his collection to the Israel Philharmonic, and Mexican National Orchestra, and gifted numerous instruments to young talented musicians - the extraordinary violinist Shlomo Mintz was one of them. To quote the great artist himself:
"To breathe is to want,
To want is to get,
To get is to give,
To give is to live,
To live is to love"
I think it is important to remember this great musician and violinist, as someone who gave all of himself in music as well as in life without expecting anything in return!"
"One of the music's great aristocrats, violinist Henryk Szeryng was a perfectionist in all things. A man of phenomenal intellect, he combined exemplary musical taste with a super-refined technique and ravishing purity of intonation." Julian Haylock - THE STRAD July 2009
