My mother told me about Francescatti. I never heard him until now. I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I can only hope that if there is a God, Chopin can hear this.Actually, you just proved there is a God. I'm forwarding this to Richard Dawkins.

I studied with Zino one summer in the
70's. He had the biggest, fullest, richest tone I had ever heard from a violin. Also a very kind man.

@abburidotakaria Wow, Ive never heard of anyone speak of Menuhin and Rabin and Oistrakh as second tier violinists., And you dont even mention Stern. Where do think he ranks.

I should have also said this is so far above the so called artists of today.

why do people get stuck in isims, can't we just listen the exquisite beauty of tone an music that is going on. yes tastes change, are they all good, no but music must always be about exploration and growth.

Francescatti's recordings have always been like forgotten treasures that I feel blessed to come across, full of that gorgeous golden tone. Thanks for sharing, aimson.

Why isn't Francescatti one of your favorite violinists?

Well since Heifetz is my favorite and Milstein/Enesco/Elman are my other favorites, there just isn't room for Francescatti. I put him in with the other "tier 2" violinists such as Menuhin, Rabin, Oistrakh, Neveu, Gulli, and Kreisler. It's all subjective and based on my opinion. Don't worry, I still love listening to him, just saying he's not tier 1 in my book.

Aimson, I owe you a HUGE lot! What a marvellous collection you put together. I just can't get away from the computer. Zino Francescatti was one of my favorites when I was studying the violin, back in the 60s.

That is great, I'm glad you are enjoying yourself! I have gotten several private messages saying the exact same thing, particularly about Francescatti. His sound and tone are incredibly beautiful and similar to Kreisler and Heifetz in both sweetness and expression. Make sure you download my entire (incomplete) collection from megaupload. The link(s) are on my channel profile.

I hate how this guy drags his fingers when hes shifting down from one finger to another... You are not supposed to make those shifts EXTREMELY audible

Guess you haven't learned about glissando's yet, what a shame. The older violinist used it very liberally to make the music sound more romantic. Nowadays, it is seen as "old-fashioned" and "unclean" by most violinists, which explains your attitude. If you hate it, don't listen to it (or any other older violinists like Heifetz or Elman).
