I played in the Toledo Symphony for 40 years, Zino played with us two times, He was brilliant as usual.

Well, I listen to a lot of great violin playing, but it's the first I've heard this particular Francescatti recording of the Sibelius ... I listen to so many great performances that I am rarely stunned. Yet, I sit here absolutely *stunned*. That was fantastic.

This is one of the greatest recordings of this masterpiece. Certainly stands among the top 5 ever and one of my favorites now for sure. Thank you for uploading this recording!

YESSSSS.....this is Sibelius' violin concerto. Finally found it; the best for me. One doesn't find characters like Francescatti nowadays.

[@cgoroo]

it's truly difficult for me to figure out which Sibelius concerto is best but I'm pleased to see that you've accomplished the task! Indeed, Francescatti has a special place in my collection of mono discs from the mid century. Happy listening and thanks for the comment.

@@cgoroo Also a beauty: with Tossy Spivakovsky. A Russian old timer.

Spivakovsky was the first rendition I heard of Sibelius vc. I was 6 years old and for me it is still one of my favorites.

Zino Francescatti's parents were violinists. He was first taught by his father who had studied with Camillo Sivori, a pupil of Paganini.

Zino Francescatti was born on this day(August 9) in 1902. This is one of my favorite recordings of Sibelius Violin Concerto!

I found a LP of this album… but I find Francescatti rushed through the Sibelius…. Am I the only one feeling this?

[@boydaaron]

yes.
