In the 1930s the United States was the mecca for musicians but only the outstanding ones could hope to launch a career. Rene Charles (Zino) Francescatti made his US debut, aged 37, in 1939 playing Paganini’s first concerto with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Barbirolli. He was eventually recognised as one of the world’s leading violinists. This collection brings together his best commercially issued recordings, mainly of French music, in new digital transfers.
