Zino Francescatti, Paganini's 17th Caprice, Live

I love how he lets the opening two chords decay--as any "natural" sound would.

Superior musician and incomparable violinist. Joy in every phrase.

@ipmoic As always, your astute observations are greatly appreciated and always welcome my very dear friend-I I love the way you think, even though you sometimes don't agree with me :) (the playing of a mad man..still laughing and laughing!!!!! Hurt myself on that one!) We both agree on Mr. Francescatti!!!!
