About

As early as 1995, the Wiener Zeitung wrote: “Undoubtedly, Schmid has what it takes to someday become the most significant Austrian violinist since Fritz Kreisler.” And indeed, Vienna-born Benjamin Schmid seems to have a particular affinity to the legendary violinist and his unique sense for the charm of the musical miniature.
 
On this recording, Benjamin Schmid introduces ten of Kreisler’s most famous compositions and arrangements. The next five tracks allow Schmid to reveal another side of his musical activities: as a jazz violinist in his trio, following in the tradition of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grapelli. Schmid is accompanied by no less than Biréli Lagrène on guitar and Georg Breinschmid on bass.
