Nadia Reisenberg's first major American appearance was in 1922 as the featured pianist in Panderewski's "Polish Fantasy" in a performance praised by the composer himself who was in the audience. Reisenberg made history with her never before attempted feat of playing all the Mozart Piano Concerti in a weekly, coast-to-coast radio series. For the last thirty-five years of her life, chamber music gave her the greatest personal satisfaction. In the 1950s and 60s, she appeared with the Budapest Quartet on numerous occasions, and among many memorable concerts, she played all Beethoven's Cello-Piano Sonatas with Joseph Schuster, then first cellist of the New York Philharmonic. In 1980, at age 76, she joined the Juilliard Quartet at the library of Congress for the Mendelssohn and Faure works heard on this release.
