Violinist Mischa Elman is featured in this Pristine Classical collection of historic recordings made between 1931 and 1951. Restored and remastered by Mark Obert-Thorn, the album brings together Elman’s performances of Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in G Minor, Beethoven’s Romances Nos. 1 and 2, Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor and Paganini’s Caprice No. 24 in A Minor.

A centerpiece of the collection is Elman’s 1947 recording of the Mendelssohn concerto with Désiré Defauw and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, recorded at Orchestra Hall in Chicago and originally issued by RCA Victor. The set also includes Elman’s own elaborate arrangement of Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, recorded in 1951 with pianist Wolfgang Rosé.

Several performances receive especially significant treatment in this release, including the first digital issues of Elman’s Vivaldi and Beethoven recordings and the first CD release of his Paganini arrangement. Together, these recordings offer a vivid portrait of Elman’s distinctive sound and style across concerto, lyrical and virtuoso repertoire.
