'Minuet in G' ia another Sammons recording made at the time of his first session for Decca on 5 April 1940. The piano accompaniment is by Gerald Moore. From WIkipedia: Albert Edward Sammons CBE (23 February 1886 – 24 August 1957) was an English violinist, composer and later violin teacher... [He] was born in Fulham, the second eldest of four children. His father was a shoemaker and good amateur violinist. Sammons started to receive some lessons from his father around the age of seven. Apart from these lessons, he was virtually self-taught. His first professional engagement was in the band at the Earls Court Exhibition in 1898; the conductor was so impressed by the 12-year-old that he made him leader. He left school at this time and became a professional musician – partly to bring extra income to the household, as his father was a compulsive gambler... Sammons...began to gain a reputation for his reliability and was engaged by many London musical establishments, as well as in the 'Hungarian' and 'White Viennese' bands popular at the time...At 16, relations with his father reached a point where Albert and his brother left home to stay with friends, only returning when his father walked out to join the band on an ocean liner and the two brothers were therefore obliged to provide for the rest of the family... He married Laura Tomkins in Middlesbrough on 31 October 1907 (divorced 1920). Around this time Sammons was recruited to play at musical parties for the upper classes at their country houses. He was the leader of the British Symphony Orchestra in a series of Amalgamated Musicians' Union Sunday concerts at the London Coliseum in 1908–1909... He was also engaged by Ernesto Bucalossi at the Waldorf Hotel and Wyndham's Theatre. It was at the Waldorf that Thomas Beecham heard him and in August 1909 offered him the position of sub-leader (soon to be leader) of his orchestra... The conductor Adrian Boult commented on his rise in British violin-playing, 'he had had no special preparations, no training abroad, no scholarship luxuries.' In 1910, with [others] he formed the London String Quartet, with whom he remained until 1917... Sammons, William Murdoch (piano), Lionel Tertis (viola) and Lauri Kennedy (cello), founded The Chamber Music Players in 1921, giving their first private performance on 6 January of that year, and first public concert at Haverstock Hill, London on 13 January, going on to give many concerts at the Wigmore Hall and around the UK... Sammons was particularly associated with Edward Elgar's Violin Concerto in B minor, which he first played on 23 November 1914... He estimated that he played the concerto over a hundred times, including at The Proms...He also made the first recording of Elgar's Violin Sonata in E minor in 1935. In May 1915 a chance encounter in London with Frederick Delius led directly to the composition of a violin concerto in which Sammons probably assisted considerably even to the point of writing some link passages... After the end of the First World War, Sammons all but gave up string quartet and orchestral playing to concentrate on a large, regular programme of solo work and chamber music recitals throughout Britain and Ireland, and later, broadcasts...Between May and the autumn of 1929 Sammons and Tertis carried out around 1,000 string auditions for the formation of the new BBC Symphony Orchestra. He married Olive Hobday (the daughter of one of his accompanists) on 5 December 1921. Shortly after, they moved to Bognor Regis (in the same road as William Murdoch), where he lived for the rest of his life. During the Second World War, he continued his busy concert schedule around the UK, travelling by train, as well as appearing at the National Gallery concerts. From 1946 Sammons spent less time playing and more teaching...From 1939, he taught privately and at the Royal College of Music...He became a Fellow (FRCM) in 1944. He composed many short pieces for violin and piano, which he included in his recital programmes and recorded...He also made editions of others' works and published books of studies and exercises. The onset of Parkinson's disease forced his retirement from public performance in June 1948... He died in Middleton-on-Sea in 1957, aged 71. Boult said of him after his death that he was distinguished by 'his selfless interest in music-making of all kinds, whether in Queen's Hall or in some humble mission hall in far-off Wales or Scotland. He was a great musician in every sense of the word.' I transferred this side from a laminated Australian pressing of Decca Y 5637.

Albert Sammons plays 'Valse Lente,' with piano by Ethel Hobday. This is not an immaculate copy - although things improve as the disc progresses - but the record is an absolute delight!

You can find this and many other wonderful selections and information at his website: (http•••) William Primrose CBE (23 August 1904 / 1 May 1982) was a Scottish violist and teacher. Primrose was born in Glasgow and studied violin initially. In 1919 he moved to study at the then Guildhall School of Music in London.[1] On the urging of the accompanist Ivor Newton,[2] Primrose moved to Belgium to study under Eugène Ysaÿe, who encouraged him to take up the viola instead. In 1930, he joined Warwick Evans, John Pennington, and Thomas Petre as the violist in the London String Quartet. The group dissolved in 1935. In 1937, he began playing in the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Arturo Toscanini. When it was rumored that Toscanini would leave the Symphony in 1941, Primrose resigned. His career as a soloist took off when he started touring with Richard Crooks. He later signed with Arthur Judson, an influential concert manager. In 1946, he was the soloist in the first recording of Berlioz's Harold in Italy. In 1944 he had commissioned a viola concerto from Béla Bartók. This was left incomplete at Bartók's death in 1945, and had to wait four years for its completion by Tibor Serly. Primrose was the soloist in the world premiere performance of the concerto, on 2 December 1949. In 1950 Benjamin Britten wrote for him Lachrymae based on the song by Dowland.[3] In 1953 he was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Queen Elizabeth II. Primrose was known for his tremendous technique. When he performed Paganini's violin caprices on viola, Mischa Elman is said to have exclaimed, "It must be easier on viola!" Primrose wrote many transcriptions and arrangements for viola, often technically dazzling, including "La Campanella" (from Paganini's second violin concerto) and the famous Nocturne from Borodin's second string quartet, the latter "out of jealousy" for the cello's long melodic lines. William Primrose died from cancer in Provo, Utah on 1 May 1982. His large collection of annotated viola scores became the nucleus for the William Primrose International Viola Archive at the Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University. For his contribution to the recording industry, Primrose has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. Later in his life, Primrose became a noted teacher, writing several books on viola playing and teaching widely in Japan, Australia and the USA, occasionally at the University of Southern California, the Juilliard School, Eastman School of Music, Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, Brigham Young University, and the Curtis Institute of Music.
