  • mon père m'a parlé de zino francescati toute mon enfance, maintenant il est mort et en l'entendant je comprends mieux son âme de musicien et de violoniste: c'est vrai que de la magie du sud de la France et de l'Italie et de la Grece vibre dans cette danse avec les cordes et le bois du violon, pratiqué par ce presque-dieu du son dans son ingénuité de "libre-allant" de la grande musique.Je l'aime!

  • Tremendo sonido excelente Zino Francescatti !!!!!

  • @trilulilula Whether i have or havent heard him is somewhat irrelevant ...

  • @DualThunder

    have you heard him...?

  • @robotnik77 agreed. very much like no one can play Chopin, except for Chopin. no one has recreated his sound, ever.

  • @robotnik77 and Szeryng!

  • my favorite kreisler piece by far

  • @OriginalMoonbeam is right. There's a "futuristic" sense in this piece. Francescatti has a myriad palette of tonal colors -- so full and varied. Such a marvelous sense of time and space, with the silences of equal importance to the played notes.

    And then there is the freedom---always a sense of tempo but never any rigidity. His infallible inner rhythmic sense makes the music seem as if it contains no bar lines.

  • indeed.i tink i would tend to agree - i mean if i were to pick up a strad i somehow dont think it would sound that great :-)

    i remeber at school we had to do a project and i did mine on the evolution of the violin - whihc also involved sawing an old violin in half to expose its innards!!

    i think there must have been something about cremona that prod such great fiddle makers
