While Yves St-Laurent advertises discs devoted to the distinguished Canadian pianist and pedagogue Charles Reiner (1924-2006), it becomes obvious that the spotlight falls upon Polish-Mexican violin virtuoso Henryk Szeryng (1918-1988), with whom Reiner collaborated for many years. Szeryng maintained a robustly refined level of performance throughout his career, and his range of repertory seemed universal, embracing Bach to contemporary musicians like Jean Martinon and Benjamin Lees.
