Bygone Days - Music for violin and Piano by Rudolf Friml

 Stephanie Chase, violin - Sara Davis Buechner, piano

"This exquisite cd is an absolute must for the violin music lover, not only for the lyrical gems of Friml's music but also for Stephanie Chase's magical and transporting performances. These pieces are sentimental yet delicate, virtuosic yet charming, and ultimately have a truly mesmerizing effect on the listener. Sara Davis Buechner is a delightful pianist partner.  I enthusiastically recommend this superb recording." 

"Bygone Days, a brand-new collection of Rudolf Friml's chamber music follows last year's top recommendation of Friml's Piano Music. These light and sophisticated works are simply delightful   -- perfect for a garden party." - Eric Feidner, President, ArkivMusic.com
