Great violonist composer Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) plays his own piece named "Liebesleid". This is two recordings with 12 years of interval.
Recorded 1) on 14th February 1930; Berlin, Beethovensaal (piano) 2) on 15th January 1942; Philadelphia in the Academy of Music (orchestra).
I used to go every week to the Boston Symphony with my Aunt, back in the 50s. Fritz Kreisler was invited to play with them just about every year, as I recall, and this was one of the pieces that he played. As you say, he played the violin with absolute beauty.
