Description:

Pictorial Films, 1947.

"Carroll Glenn (October 28, 1918 – April 25, 1983) won the Naumburg Violin Competition in April 1938 and, as part of her prize, the Walter W. Naumburg Foundation sponsored her post-Juilliard New York debut recital at the Town Hall on November 7, 1938. Her performance at Town Hall resulted in her winning the Town Hall Young Artist Award on April 11, 1939 — presented annually by the Town Hall Endowment to an artist under thirty years of age who gave the most outstanding performance in the prior year. Two more awards followed: the National Federation of Music Clubs Award and the Schubert Memorial Award.

She debuted with the New York Philharmonic under Artur Rodziński on December 14, 1941, performing the Sibelius Violin Concerto, with critical success. During her 1942–1943 season, Glenn was featured in 21 orchestral concerts throughout North America.

She married pianist Eugene List in 1943, and they concertized together in 1946, when the U.S. State Department sponsored their first European tour. Glenn and List attracted vast audiences during the 1946 summer concerts of the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Robin Hood Dell and during 1948 and 1949 concerts of the New York Philharmonic at Lewisohn Stadium.

Glenn and List were strongly interested in offbeat, rarely performed, and contemporary music, including the double concertos of Giovanni Battista Viotti and Anis Fuleihan, and the Duo Sonata by Franz Liszt, which they rediscovered. Glenn gave the premiere of Andrew Imbrie's Violin Concerto (which she later recorded) and revived Eugène Ysaÿe's Sonata for two violins.

By 1961, Glenn had made over 90 appearances as soloist with major symphony orchestras, an all-time record for a soloist of her years." (Wikipedia)
