Buzz: “Merckel [1897-1969] is one of those French violinists...whose sterling musicianship remained broadly for home consumption. Of course he is closely associated with the native repertoire of which he was such a splendid exponent...” wrote Jonathan Woolf on Musicweb. Here are Merckel’s best Saint-Saens and Lalo recordings in new digital transfers.
