Review:
"The Ukrainian-American Alexander Meshibovsky is a violinist-composer in the mold of Fritz Kreisler. His muic recalls Kreisler's too. The Suite in the Old Style is like the pseudo-baroque music that Kreisler wrote, his Violin Sonata is an homage to Rachmaninoff…, and Old Vienna is right where Kreisler came from. The Gershwiniana is very similar to the arrangements Heifetz made of his friend's music, only the excerpts are played continuously…" (American Record Guide)
