"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 "
