  • do u know how old he was when this was recorded?

  • He was born in 1892, so he was 42-43 at the time.

  • This is the first ever recording of Prokofiev's Violin Concerto #1, and still considered by many to be the best. Joseph Szigeti did much to further Prokofiev's music, at a time when Prokofiev was relatively unpopular.

    As usual, adding &fmt=18 to the end of the link provides higher quality audio.

  • @j72050 Yes, most of us looked nicely young when we were young)))

  • I discovered this concerto with Milstein and after it remained my favorite interpretation . But Szigeti is wonderful too, I like him immensely in this concerto.

  • @UltimateViolin &fmt=18

    u genius.

    thanks?

  • billyguns......Does the Korngold Violin Concerto fit in with your three favorite concerti? I am enamored with it....:)

  • Nearly there with Oistrach

  • This generation was romantic of violin-unfortunately -it gone and would not come again-

  • He was the first to popularise this piece I think. Others having failed before him.
