These recordings were made at a time when Lola Bobesco was very active, both as a teacher, founder of orchestras, soloist and chamber musician. In 1958 she founded the orchestra Les Solistes de Bruxelles, taking the position of concertmaster. In 1960 Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt invited Bobesco to perform Brahms with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra; performances with Karl Böhm, Otto Klemperer, Rudolf Kempe and Ernest Ansermet followed. From 1962 to 1974 she also taught at the conservatoires in Brussels and Liège. Her busy schedule continued, including concerts with the pianist Jacques Genty, solo recitals with orchestras, duties as concertmaster of the orchestra she had founded, and teaching responsibilities.
