This never before issued recital was given in 1954, when Zino Francescatti was at the peak of his formidable powers. The legendary French violinist, whose musical ancestry goes back to Paganini, plays with such stunning precision and musicality that these works leap off the page with acrobatic joy. Francescatti's `old world' approach to this music includes his use of piano accompaniment in the famous D major Concerto, and in the seven Caprices. (Francescatti never made a commercial recording of
Caprice No. 17, so this stands as a new addition to his discography.) This electrifying CD is for enthusiasts of the grand era of virtuoso violin playing, and reconfirms Francescatti's place, along with Heifetz and Milstein, among the three greatest players of their generation. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Features the Bell Telephone Hour Orchestra / Donal Voorhees Live Performances Michael Rabin was an American virtuoso violinist of Romanian descent. During a concert in Carnegie Hall, he momentarily lost his balance and fell forward, marking the beginning of a neurological condition which badly hindered his career. He died at just 35 after sustaining a head injury in a fall at his apartment in New York. This collection, recorded between 1950 and 1968, features works performed on many different occasions, including the Ravinia Festival.
