Zino Francescatti plays with devotion and abandon. The Festival Strings Lucerne accompany just right. You hear Bach. You hear beauty. Enchanting. Lars Hinnum said: Francescattis and Festival Strings Lucernes performance of J. S. Bachs violinconcertos has enormous vitality with brisk tempi. The 1972s DG recording has a wide range and is firmly focused in its CD format.
