This review is from: Historical Violin Recordings (Audio CD)

Recorded between 1946 and 1955, the sound quality on these recordings leaves something to be desired, and, but for that, this would be a five-star CD. However, the performances are excellent, and the historical significance of these recordings by violinist Louis Kaufman makes this CD worth exploring.
