Mischa Elman (1891 - 1967)

Mischa Elman (1891-1967) had his early training in Odessa with Alexander Fidelman, a pupil of Auer and of Brodsky, before himself becoming a pupil of Auer in St Petersburg. He appeared in Berlin in 1904 and in London the following year, giving his first New York concert in 1908, and settling in America in 1911. He had a highly successful career as a soloist, a chamber music player and in the recording studio, and was said to have acquired his characteristically warm tone in part, at least, from the influence, at second hand, of his grandfather, a Jewish folk-musician. He recorded the Violin Concerto by Wienawski, Auer’s predecessor in St Petersburg, in Philadelphia in 1950, with an orchestra conducted by another Auer pupil, Alexander Hilsberg.
