 Michael Rabin and the Philharmonia Orchestra. Conducted by Alceo Galliera Tchaikovsky violin concerto SAINT-SAËNS - introduction and Rondo Capriccioso Op. 28 Columbia 

Michael Rabin managed to be one of the most talented and tragic violin virtuosi of his generation. Hailed as a child prodigy, his talent matured gracefully into an adult level, but he failed to follow in his emotional growth, resulting in a cutting short of his career. He never reached the age of 36, yet remains one of the most fondly remembered of virtuoso violinists for listeners and fellow musicians. In the 1950s, Rabin signed with Capitol-EMI, for which he recorded the most important part of his legacy.

he draft of Kogan-Up One looks in vain certainly - but what lies down for a performance Rabin here! It is also the geigeric glorious moments that characterize this recording in 1957. In the overall picture, other major recordings from the same era (Heifetz, Campoli, Ricci, Oistrakh, or Francescatti) are more conclusive (Rabin showed a little later His Mendelssohn recording).
 
But the cadence of the first movement and, of course, the furious final are the hours of the violin, a high-romantic virtuoso of the Paganini tradition that no longer exists today and whose last outstanding representative was probably Michael Rabin. Camille Saint-Saëns's "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso" is also the not so secret main feature of this LP:
 
Rarely has one heard the neckbreaker arpeggios of this show piece with so much pleasure and verve as here, and here is also - besides his always stupendous technique - Rabin's great musical understanding of this particular type of music
