About Michael Rabin

Michael Rabin, the American violinist, was a meteoric talent whose brief career left an indelible mark on the classical music world. Born in 1936, Rabin was recognised as a child prodigy, captivating audiences with his extraordinary skill and charisma. By his mid-teens, he was already an internationally acclaimed virtuoso, hailed as one of the most promising violinists of his generation.

Rabin's technical prowess and expressive playing set him apart, earning him a coveted recording contract with EMI and notable performances, such as recording the soundtrack for an Elizabeth Taylor film. His repertoire included iconic works like the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 2, showcasing his profound musicality and virtuosity.

Tragically, Rabin's life was cut short at the age of 35, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire. His recordings, now remastered from original tapes, offer a glimpse into the genius of a musician who, despite his brief career, remains one of the greatest violinists in history.
