Despite his brief career — he died at 35 — Rabin remains one of the all-time most celebrated Violin virtuosos of the 20th century - and was a phenomenon right out of the gate. His performing debut took place in January 1950, at the age of 13, as soloist with the National Orchestral Association. Subsequently, he appeared with a number of American orchestras before his Carnegie Hall debut on 29 November 1951, at the age of 15, in the Paganini D major Concerto, with Dimitri Mitropoulos conducting the New York Philharmonic.

In 1950, at 14, he established himself as a genuine prodigy when he brilliantly recorded eleven Paganini caprices. A young man of extraordinary promise whose violinistic attributes were practically flawless, he possessed a powerful "fourth finger" that would make almost any violinist green with envy. All this was abetted by an instinctive suavity of phrasing and delivery recalling only the most supreme among his colleagues. Tenderness, charm, and a certain gentleness of character pervaded much of his playing, along with his tremendous virtuoso flair and daring. In his prime years his performance consistently exuded the aura of youth. It was the art of a phenomenal young violinist still en route to intellectual, spiritual, and cultural maturity.

During a recital in Carnegie Hall, he suddenly lost his balance and fell forward. This was an early sign of a neurological condition which was to affect his career adversely. His death, at the age of 35, resulted from a fall in his apartment in New York City.

This rarely seen, very early recording finds him in compelling command and deep accord with the Paganini and Sarasate pieces presented.

Very Scarce and seldom offered early recording from Rabin? in great condition?
