He appeared as a soloist with orchestras, in recital, and notably as an accompanist for singers such as Richard Crooks, Arthur Middleton, Vera Curtis and violinist Elias Breeskin. He appeared with Breeskin on recordings for Brunswick in 1920 and was a regular radio broadcaster on WNBC (New York) from 1930 through 1935. He also taught at Juilliard and the Manhattan School of Music. In addition, Gruen composed a number of pieces for piano, voice, and also two piano-four hands arrangements which he frequently performed with his wife, pianist and teacher Frances Hall. 1317. 10” PW elec.

LAZY CIGARETTE [HABANERA] / EL GRECO [PAVANE] (both Robert Braine). Just about 1-2. $10.00. JOSEPH HASSID [violinist]. Suwalki, Poland, 1923 – Long Grove Hospital, Epsom, England, 1950. A remarkable prodigy, Hassid (raised by his father after his mother’s death when he was ten) was strongly encouraged by most of the virtuosi of the time who heard him. He came to England in 1938 at the invitation of Carl Flesch and made his public debut at Wigmore Hall (London) on 3 April 1940. His final concert was 1 March 1941 at Queens Hall, playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto. It was apparent that he was suffering from a “severe mental disorder” which was diagnosed as “schizophrenia” and was admitted to St. Andrew’s Hospital in Northampton. After a brief period of improvement, he was “certified insane” and remained institutionalzed for the rest of his life. A lobotomy was eventually attempted but postoperative infection set it, progressing into meningitis, which led to his death. Pianist Gerald Moore commented in the Gramophone magazine (April, 1973) that Hassid was “the greatest instrumental genius I’ve ever partnered.” He made only eight records, all in 1940, all extremely scarce.
