Described by Szigeti as 'one of the last great individualists among violinists', Alfredo Campoli was forced into light music because of the 1930s' economic crisis. He achieved fame as both soloist and director of light music in his Palm Court orchestra. In the 1950s he returned to his classical roots, achieving great fame in many countries. This biography evokes a musical era that no longer exists.
