Zino Francescatti, french violonist, plays Tzigane composed by Ravel (M.Faure: piano). Recorded in 1928 but it's amazing, i woud say 1930's

  • At the start of his career, Zino toured with Maurice Ravel, both on the mainland and in England.

    This would make him very knowledgeable of the latter's compositions.

    I relate to what you call "non-aggressive". But to me it's a matter of incredible musicianship and taste. Who says a gypsy violinist must be vulgar?--as are most interpretations of this piece!

    Magical--too bad the pianist is not always up to the task...

  • hmm a unique non-aggressive approach.

  • ravel was a tortured indivi often excessively critical of his own work

    francescatti somehow conveys this here, beautiful rendition

  • nice slow vib

  • Thank you for posting this wonderful version of Tzigane! Mr. Francescatti toured some with Ravel during the twenties according to some of my liner notes. Francescatti has given a faithful rendering according to Ravel
