rating: 5 QuoteIn presence of a giant of violin!Quote
In 1972, with just 36 years of fertile and creative existence, thanks to a brilliant and promissory career as virtuosi and sensitive musician, the fate decided for Michael Rabin, he walked other paths.

His level of interpretative excellence, dictated insurmountable standards (Vienawski' s Violin Concertos, Paganini' s caprices and Kreisler's miniatures, GLazunov, Introducion and rondo) as well as basically all he played conferred him (he reminds in intensity to Ginette Neveu) of a sort of magic effluvium . That flaming passion that joined the level of mercurial technique, astonishing tune and first rate temperament, simply left a world seriously wounded, because a soloist of his stature has been irreplaceable until these days, and the career of so many famous soloists surely would not have been overshadowed .

This is a priceless set that includes true musical and legendary treasures, whether for you and the next generations to come.

rating: 5 QuoteBest collection of violin playing ever madeQuote
I am a professional violinist and have long been an admirer of Michael Rabin. His technic is beyond concern. I am familiar with people involved in these recordings. Amazingly, many were single, unedited takes. If you ever buy a violin recording, these are the ones to get. April 12, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteI really can't add anything to the other reviews...Quote
...this collection is an absolute necessity to anyone enjoys violin music and a near necessity to anyone who enjoys classical music...what astounds me is the quality of many of the recordings...more often than not violin recordings seem to produce a sound that leaves the impression that you're listening from the back row in a large hall...most of Rabin's recordings, on the other hand, give the impression either he's right in the room with you or else you're in the front row at the concert.

rating: 5 QuoteAn essential item for any classical collectionQuote
Rabin is spectacular!!! Just listen to his rendition of Zigeunerwiesen, he has no equal for this piece - not even close! I have been waiting for the re-release of this set for over 5 years, asking EMI if they would ever consider it. My thanks to EMI for listening. This is a re-release they wont regret. I have a collection of classical violin by many artists, but there is something very special about these recordings by Michael Rabin. His interpretations and the gusto of his playing take your breath away.

I cannot imagine any collection of classical music without this set of CDs. April 20, 2006

rating: 5 QuoteMichael Rabin was INCREDIBLEQuote
I have to second Scott68. Rabin was one incredible violinist. I agree, the Paganini Caprices (age 15!) Wieniawski and others were never topped by anyone! This set is guaranteed to drop your jaw. April 14, 2006
