Joseph Szigeti was a Hungarian-born violinist celebrated for his intellectual, searching musicianship and for championing contemporary composers as much as the classical canon. He was sometimes called the "violinist's violinist" because of his artistry, insight, and influence among fellow musicians. This new collection from Parnassus features some of his most famous recordings, including the Bartók Rhapsody No. 1 with the composer accompanying. Fans of the violin will want to own this wonderful collection.
