Devy Erlih es un extraordinario violinista francés poco conocido fuera de las fronteras de su país. En Internet sólo he podido encontrar algunos pocos datos dispersos de su biografía. Fue profesor de violín en el Conservatorio de París y autor de importantes textos didácticos. Su repertorio es amplio, abarcando desde los maestros barrocos hasta las composiciones contemporáneas, en particular las de André Jolivet (su suegro) con violín solista. Actualmente se están reeditando en CD algunos de sus antiguos registros. Como nota curiosa diré que alguno de sus discos han adquirido precios astronómicos (hasta 1.800 dólares americanos) en subastas.
En el presente EP se puede apreciar la maestría de Devy Erlih interpretando música de Pugnani, Albéniz y Falla en transcripciones de Kreisler. La parte de piano es interpretada por Maurice Bureau.
Devy Erlih has been an extraordinary French violinist little known out of the borders of his own country. A few, dispersed notices about his biography can be found in Internet. He was violin teacher in the Paris Conservatory, author of didactic texts. His repertory is wide, performing music from Baroque masters up to contemporary scores, particularly music of André Jolivet (his father-in-law) including soloist violin. Some of his old records are nowadays being re-edited in CD format. I can say as a curiosity that some of his disks have reached astronomic prices in sales by auction (up to 1,800 USD).
His mastery can be appreciated in this EP, performing music of Pugnani, Albéniz and Falla in Kreisler’s transcriptions. Maurice Bureau plays the piano part.
