About

Louis Kaufman was born on 10 May 1905 in Portland, Oregon. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Romania. The thirteen-year-old Kaufman began studying with Franz Kneisel in New York City at the Institute of Musical Art, now known as the Juilliard School. Kaufman gave his solo debut in the New York Town Hall in 1928. He then went on to play with such acclaimed musicians as Pablo Casals, Jascha Heifetz, etc. In 1932 Kaufman married the pianist Annette Leibole and performed frequently with her in public.

The famous Hollywood director Ernst Lubitsch heard him play on the radio in 1934. Lubitsch liked the way Kaufman played and it was the beginning of a long collaboration. Kaufman played the music for between 400 and 500 films. At the same time, he continued to give concerts in Los Angeles and New York.

This was the era of the big boom in long-playing records after the introduction of vinyl. Kaufman subsequently made more than 100 recordings of the main works for violin, together with leading orchestras and famous conductors. Louis Kaufman died on 9 February 1994. The recordings featured on this historic CD album are predominantly from the 1940s and 50s.
