The music of his time was Krasner's bag, not the standard repertoire.

Possibly the most interesting thing he recorded was a Sonata for Violin and
Piano by Walter Piston, with the composer accompanying very competently.
 [two 12" Columbia 78s].  I still own this set, though I haven't had 78
playback equipment for decades!  My Creighton has gotten buried, or I'd be
looking up Krasner at this very moment.  Somebody else on this list should
be able to perform that service [?].
