Piano accompanist for Fritz Kreisler and possibly others on Victor... no info available for him online.

Anyone have any info?

Here is a link to a DAHR discography for Falkenstein. He played for many artists and this discography shows mostly for Victor but there were also a few Columbias too.

That's good info, thanks. I was actually more curious about biographical info, training, how long active, if he ever did stand alone recitals, etc.

Fascinating. He was a jam-up classical pianist for sure.
