Born only two years earlier than Webern and successful as a conductor in Berlin, Ignatz Waghalter built on the tradition of Schumann and Brahms rather than seeking revolutionary innovation. The inspiring melodic and rhythmic invention of his 1911 Violin Concerto led a contemporary reviewer to recommend that 'violinists should take it up without hesitation!', while the earlier Violin Sonata won the coveted Mendelssohn Prize in 1902. A milestone in violinist Irmina Trynkos' 'Waghalter Project' (www.waghalterproject.com), this release brings to light one of the most unjustly forgotten musicians of interwar Europe.
