@richygm16 Don't forget Russian David Oistrakh, Leonid Kogan! There were many more greatest violinists than you think! :)) Vieuxtems, Viktor Tretjakov, Leonidas Kavakos, Dmitri Berlinsky, Itzhak Perlman, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Ries, Maxim Vengerov, Vadim Gluzman, Vadim Repin, Midori, Glenn Dicterow, Pinchas Zuckerman... and many more names... they truly are fantastic violinists, greatest violinists!

he sure had a nack for not only performing but composing beautiful melodic lines and even more incredible harmony

just magic...

Yes. Rue Sarasate is a small street not far from the Eifel Tower. Pull up the Paris map on Google, type the name in, and you'll find it. How many modern violinists have streets named after them?!

Are you talking about Sarasate? I mean, they really have "Sarasate Street" in Paris?
-
you`ve got very precious recordings!!congratulations!

What a career this man had! More than forty works written for him by (amongst others) Saint-Saens, Bruch, Dvorak, Wieniawski, Joachim, Sauret, and Lalo (just look at those names!), and streets named after him in Paris, Pamplona, Biarritz, and Madrid.

One of the seven greatest violinists of all time. (Paganini, Wieniawski, Joachim, Sarasate, Ysaye, Kreisler, Heifetz.)
I read that while he was recording all these pieces,in a same time,he didn't pay much attention to the future importance of this event (most of his contemporaries too didn't realize the real importance of the very new technique of recording,as they could listen live!), and he was involved in a long concerts tour, so he played in these recordings almost bored and without paying much attention (there wasn't a live public listening!). Even so these performances are extraordinary!! A true gift!!

I really love this record - so soft... Sarasate is my favourite violinist and composer. (And Paganini, of course).
