I know this thread is kinda dead, but I have to recommend this album. I just recently learned about Kreisler, and I love his music. Joshua Bell's playing is very well suited for Kreisler's music. This recording also has good sound so it serves a good introduction to Kreisler.
Of course, there's also recordings of Kreisler himself playing his own works. The recordings are rather old though, inferior to the Josuha Bell recording in sound quality.
Interestingly enough, I learned about Kreisler as a composer not through listening to violin, but through transcriptions of "Liebeslied" and "Liebesfreud" for piano from an Olga Kern recording.
