Is it possible he performed in Vienna in 1929? I have a photo, possibly showing Rostal in the first violins in Vienna, Konzerthaus with Strauss conducting.

I too used to browse diligently through bargain bins though not at the same store - far away from there in fact. Mrs Shapiro owned the store and was very kind to me. More information on Rostal (covering the years 1934 through 1944) has been made available so this profile will be expanded in the very near future. Stay tuned.

Wow, it's great! Pristine after all these years, with a Record Hunter stamp on the jacket that made me mourn for the days when I haunted the bargain bins of TRH and Goody's on 49th stret. Add me to the list of collectors who treasure Rostal's performances.

Rostal and his family did leave Germany in 1934 - March of 1934 to be a little more precise.

I googled for info about him (Rostal) and discovered your amazingly comprehensive blog. What a find.<br />I know Reizenstein came to Britain in 1934 when the Nazis came to power. I wonder if Rostal did the same?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
