A new 10 CD box set from Parnassus featuring eleven of the greatest violinists of the 20th Century. Featuring performances from Mischa Elman, Ida Haendel, Josif Hassid, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, Yehudi Menuhin, Nathan Milstein, David Oistrakh, Michael Rabin, Toscha Seidel and Joseph Szigeti. This collection is a must have for any violin lover’s collection.
“Not all collections that attempt to laud musicians of the last century as ‘great’ realise their ambitions, but this one from Parnassus certainly does. Every featured player was a giant in his or her particular way. … A feast of great playing — and one thing’s for sure, no two violinists sound alike. Is that still the case today?” -Rob Cown, Gramophone
