Michael RabinAbout
The release of these recordings in 2011 coincides with the 75th anniversary of Michael Rabin’s birth. His musical voice may have been quiet the past forty years, but to violin aficionados his star still shines brightly, his virtuosity and unique sound as electrifying today as they were when he first began performing as the next, great wunderkind. Rabin’s discography is small, reflecting not only his premature death at the age of 35 years, but also the fact that for the last decade of his life, he never had a recording contract. All of which adds to the importance of this recently discovered trove of recordings. For here we have Rabin as never heard before, across his lifespan, from the earliest extant recording when he was 11 years of age, through his golden middle period as captured in a Capitol-EMI studio recording with Brooks Smith (a recording that was never released commercially), to one of his final live performances in 1971, the year before he died. The span of these recordings, bookends to a remarkable life and career, therefore gives the listener an unique opportunity to revisit not only the beauty of his playing, but also to follow his transition from boy wonder revelling in high speed pyrotechnics, to the mature artist bringing depth and due gravitas to the concerto masterpieces of Brahms and Bruch. The journey, no less than the playing, is deeply moving for we, the listeners, know what ending is in store for the artist.
