The Paganini Moto Perpetuo on this disc was recorded in one take. The story goes that
the engineer wanted to get sound levels. Rabin started the Paganini and immediately
everyone realised it was something special and within a fraction of a second conductor
orchestra and soloist were as one. It was decided to issue the take for its perfection
and sheer driving pace. As one listens to it, it is indeed one of those great moments in the
recording history of the violin - thank you Michael Rabin.
