He subsequently toured with celebrated singers of the day including Nellie Melba and Clara Butt, before turning his attention to light music. During the 1930s he became a household name in the UK, known simply as 'Campoli', for his many recordings and broadcasts, especially with his Salon Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCampoli's impeccable technique and showman's instincts were combined with a rare purity of tone and beauty of phrasing, often likened to bel canto singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe began recording for Decca in 1931, and these 78rpm discs have rarely been issued since, but they present the violinist on typically characterful form, in miniatures and arrangements which capture the essence of romantic violin-playing. Several tracks previously unpublished on Decca from a session in June 1940 include transcriptions of Chopin, Grainger and Stephen Foster, where Campoli turns on the charm in quintessential style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecca captured the full range of Campoli's musicianship, from salon-orchestra serenades and Baroque-era sonatas to the first recording of the concerto which Sir Arthur Bliss wrote for him. He brought a special warmth and unmannered pathos to the Violin Concerto by Elgar, under the baton of Sir Adrian Boult in 1954, which stands out as a highlight of his legacy on record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Eloquence set presents Campoli's legacy in largely chronological order, restoring the original LP couplings, and presenting for the first time on CD stereo versions of Saint-Saens's Violin Concerto No. 3, the Kreisler\/Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1 and pieces by Sarasate and Wieniawski.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst-issue covers and many rare photographs are complemented by a new and illuminating essay by Andrew Dalton, who recalls Campoli in concert in the early 1960s: 'I was instantly captivated, for a Campoli performance was never routine'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Decca 78s - Music by Albeniz, Drigo, Kreisler, Elgar, Bazzini, Lehar, Paderewski, Mozskowski, et.al.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Decca 78s - Music by Handel, Monti, Kreisler, Hubay, Hahn, Raff, Chopin, Foster, Grainger, Gossec, et.al.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Decca 78s - Music by Heykens, Kalman, J.
