Provenance
André Gertler (1907 – 1998) was a classical violinist and teacher.
Born in Budapest. He was a teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Music, in Brussels, Belgium.
Gertler was a friend and admirer of Béla Bartók, and he recorded all the works that Bartók composed for the violin, including his two concertos. He is considered one of the best players of Bartók's music. His recording of the 44 duos for violins, with Josef Suk, is considered one of the best versions available.
Among his students were Joshua Epstein, Rudolf Werthen and André Rieu.
