Emil Telmányi (1892-1988) was a Hungarian violinist and conductor, closely associated with the music of Carl Nielsen, whose daughter he married. He also became known for exploring the curved-bow approach to Bach.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in Sibelius repertory, connected with early twentieth-century Nordic and European performance traditions.

Telmányi’s musical profile combines virtuoso violin playing, conducting and an adventurous interest in performance practice. He was not content merely to inherit tradition; he poked at its hinges.

His page is justified by historical interest as well as catalogue presence. Telmányi brings a distinctive violinist’s curiosity to the artist index.
