A citizen of the\nNetherlands from birth, he never resided in Holland and was not fluent\nin the Dutch language. He was a modest giant of a man, a reluctant\nvirtuoso who had to be coaxed away from academia to perform. Born in\nHanover, Germany in 1881, he grew up in Dresden. He learned the violin\nunder his father, a professional musician, and in his teens played with\nthe Dresden Court Orchestra. But it was his early studies at the piano\nthat brought encouragement from Paderewski and Busoni, and ultimately\nled to his concentration on that instrument.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nPetri became an acolyte of Busoni, eventually following him to Switzerland\nto help edit the composer\/pianist’s edition of Bach’s keyboard works.\nDuring the 1920s, Petri taught in Berlin, where his students included\nVictor Borge, Gunnar Johansen, Ernst Levy and Vitya Vronsky. From 1927 to\n1939, his base of operations was Poland; but the German invasion forced him\nto flee, ultimately settling in the United States. A heart attack in 1946\ncurtailed Petri’s concertizing activities, and he eventually moved to\nCalifornia, teaching at Mills College. His pupils there and earlier at\nCornell University in New York included Eugene Istomin, John Ogden, Ruth\nSlenczynska and Earl Wild. He died in Berkeley in 1962.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nPetri’s first discs were made in Berlin for Electrola in 1929\/30, and\nfeatured works by Chopin and Liszt, including some of the latter’s Schubert\ntranscriptions. From 1935 through 1938, he recorded for English Columbia,\nand the bulk of his legacy on disc comes from this period. He made three\nhighly-esteemed Brahms recordings at this time: two sets of Variations (on\nthemes of Handel and Paganini), and the Violin Sonata with Szigeti\npresented here, a classic account which has rarely been out of the catalog.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAfter his move to America in 1939, he began an association with Columbia’s\nUS affiliate which lasted for 12 years. While there, he recorded the two\nBrahms Op. 79 Rhapsodies, as well as the one in E flat from Op. 119. He\nalso set down versions of the four Ballades and the Six Pieces from Op 118,\nbut these remained unpublished until the CD era.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nHis recording of the Viola Sonata dates from this period. Samuel Lifschey\nwas the principal violist of the Philadelphia Orchestra from 1925 to 1955,\nequally spanning the Stokowski and Ormandy eras. His only other disc credit\nwas for playing the “role” of Sancho Panza on the classic Feuermann\nrecording of Strauss’ \u003cem\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/em\u003e under Ormandy (reissued on\nPristine PASC 168). This sonata has never previously been reissued on LP or\nCD.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nAfter his last Columbia session in 1951, Petri recorded three LPs for the\nAmerican budget label Allegro-Royale, one each of works by Beethoven, Liszt\nand Brahms. The recording dates and locale are unknown, but the Brahms disc\nwas issued in 1955. It includes Petri’s only recordings of the three Op.\n117 Intermezzi, and has not previously appeared on CD.
