Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. André Gertler (July 26, 1907 – July 23, 1998) was a classical violinist and teacher.
Born in Budapest, he fled the country under the Nazis. He was a teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Music, in Brussels, Belgium.
Gertler was a friend and admirer of Béla Bartók, and he recorded all the works that Bartók composed for the violin, including his two concertos. He is considered one of the best players of Bartók's music. His recording of the 44 duos for violins, with Josef Suk, is considered one of the best versions available.
Among his students were Joshua Epstein, Rudolf Werthen and André Rieu.
He was married to the Danish pianist Diane Andersen, with whom he regularly concertised and recorded.
