Lionel Tertis, alto

Lionel Tertis performed for his instrument the service that Casals did for his : that of raising it from the obscurity of orchestral rank-and-file to respected solo status. The present re-issue offers four of his most important recording including the Bax Sonata, written for Tertis, accompanied by the composer.
