Johanna Martzy (1924-1979) became a figure on the basis of a handful of recordings. The meteoric career of this distinguished ambassadress of the Hungarian violin school in no way foretold her posthumous idolisation. Her historic recordings of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas and stunning readings of Schubert's complete works for violin and piano, together with a few first-class concerto discs, make up a legacy. At last, it is available and remastered in high definition from the original tapes.
