  • @billyguns2 How can music sound insincere?

  • I have never liked this piece, finding it cheap, trashy, and insincere; it certainly pales beside Prokofiev's magnificent Violin Concerto No. 1! However, Francescatti is such a magnificent advocate for it, he almost convinces me. What a great violinist, and Mitropoulos is a marvelous conductor!

  • This man played such a wide range of composers and pieces with virtuosity--he seemed to have no limitations. This is utterly stunning! I have quite a few of his recordings but not this!

  • Thank you very much for this recording of one of my favorite concertos. It will be my first time to hear it, but I know just by listening to the first few bars that this will be a fabulous twenty five minutes!
