Among all the Great Edison Violin stars, VASA PRIHODA is certainly the greatest. His virtuosity boggles the mind.


These Edisons are his EARLIEST, acoustic records, and as such a treasure in themselves

The fantastic Czech violinst VASA PRIHODA is best known for a couple of his Edison records. His Tartini Devil's Trill Sonata is an unreached example. 

This is one of Prihodas great recordings with Czech composers

Prihoda, Vasa 1900-1960 Czechoslovakia,Vodnany / Italy / Turkey - Austria,Vienna
violinist

At 19 he was discovered by Toscanini, and that`s how his career florished. Recordings with Paganini-Wilhelmj concerto, Nel cor piu... Sarasate, Dvorak are brillliant. Tartini-devil`s trill is wonderful with his own cadenza. His tone is so smooth, a rare quality, not at all heavy and 100% pure. A briliant violinist.

Vasa Prihoda (1900-60) was the greatest Czech violinist. A dazzling virtuoso with a very distinctive personality, his career hit a speed bump when he decided to remain in Europe during WW II. Worse, his ex-wife, the Jewish violinist Alma Rose, spent her last days in Auschwitz, and Prihoda apparently did nothing to try to save her. It appears that he did not know that she had come back to the continent and been captured after she fled with her father Arnold to England. It also has been little noted that after he and Alma divorced, he married another Jew.
