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.

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.

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.
