Francescatti plays Chausson's Poeme (2/2)

[bbessler]

I have heard Francescatti live... He was one of the most moving and sensible violinists I have ever heard... And he soude exactly like in the recordings.... Just BEAUTIFULL! Thank you for posting!

This version of Francescatti's always gave me chills - gooseflesh. There is something supernatural, phantasmic here. This is Louvian.

hermosa version de Zino Francescatti , Tedi Pavparami estudio con Francescatti y es notorio ver como su version lleva este sello inclusive detalles como la postura de la mano derecha al tomar el arco

Absolutely beautiful. Ranks with Khachaturian's Adagio from Spartacus!

as many have already said - like painting such a rich palette of colour and texxture. the ear is forever caught by another subtle nuance - -thanks so much for this

[Violinjunky]

I dont have words to say how magnificent this is

[soami2u]

This music is so exquisitely sad...it always makes me cry. Never have I heard it played like this...thanks for this sample of Francescatti's incomparable artistry

OH I used to have this album..it is FANTASTIC! Any chance you can upload the Saint-Saens? I think it is one of the best performances of the Rondo and Caprissioso! I wish they would make this into a CD! Thanks for uploading..this IS a treasure!

[rareviolintreasures]

its on an oop double cd called great violin concertos i think someone uploaded his saint saens 3 if you search for it

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Thanks! Yes, saw the SS 3, but not the Rondo and Caprissioso: is very difficult to find..just thought I would inquire to see if you have it as I recollect he plays it so beautifully! Thanks for the things you have uploaded..has been a pleasure to listen to!

[rareviolintreasures]

dont have the rondo capriccio try ebay

[OnAMushkin73]

Yes, the CD has been released... 2 discs... I own it... Perhaps my favorite in my collection.

It includes his Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Saint-Saens, Mendelssohn, Bruch, and Chausson Poeme. AMAZING interpretations. He also edited fingerings and bowings for publishers. Very personal stuff. Check it out if you're playing any of it.

I really like francescatti's sound.his sound is so brilliant and has a mark, you can distinguish him with the first note he plays.i really like to hear his interpretation of beethoven's concerto

[rareviolintreasures]

the beethoven recording is what i like most by him and its still in print so i wont upload it but its easy to find and doesnt cost much, i think there is a video of him playing the beethoven also

[ritaviolin]

Thank you, Scott! In my past life, I had Francescatti/Chausson on LP. I remember how happy I was when my dad brought me it from Moscow. It was my first "meeting" with both, composer and performer... Now, this recording is very special for me...

[rareviolintreasures]

i like his sound, maybe not as much as oistrakh but there is something about the color of his sound i cant quite put into words, maybe golden and sparkling but that doesnt quite cover it
