Encyclopedia > Max Rostal

Max Rostal (August 7, 1905 - August 6, 1991) was a violinist. He was Austrian-born, but later took British citizenship.


He was born in Teschen and studied with Carl Flesch. From 1930-33 he taught at the Berlin Hochschule, from 1944 to 1958 at the Guildhall School of Music, and then at the conservatory in Bern. His pupils included members of the Amadeus Quartet. He died in Bern.


Rostal played a wide variety of music, but was a particular champion of contemporary works such as Béla Bartók's Violin Concerto No. 2. He made a number of recordings.

Rostal shades his tone with great subtlety in the haunting recollection of the main theme in the coda of the first movement (track 4, 10'19").
In the Elgar, Rostal is just as idiomatic, with a powerful, thrusting reading of the first movement and an account of the slow movement that brings out the element of free fantasy.
It is sad that Rostal was working at a time when there were far fewer opportunities to go into the recording studio, but this resurrection of three long-buried recordings is most welcome.
