Hmmm... I really can't decide who played Zigeunerweisen better, him or perlman. I thought Rabin played the beginning much better but I think Perlman played the allegro much clearer

He would have been acknowledged as the world's greatest violinist had he lived, the true successor to Heifetz. I heard that he committed suicide to spite his hateful, domineering mother; can anyone confirm or deny this? Terrible if true...

There is a good biography out on Michael Rabin. He did fall and die that way, but there was much more to it than that, as he had been suffering from alcohol and drug addiction due to the stress of practicing so much. His domineering mother was a large part of his suicide yes.

I really love the first half of his playing, but prefer Mischa Elman's interpretation for the second half. Just personal taste of music though, technically, Rabin is awesome!

Micheal Rabin is so good! What a pity that he died so early. I heard there was this other guy who was just like him, a wonderful violinist at a young age and had a mental crash and never played again.

I'm pretty sure he meant that the pizzicato was done so well that he felt envious/jealous of it.

Really amazing. Pity the recording of Sarasate himself isn't good enough to properly illustrate how he played it, as opposed to the later performers.

The other young violinist was Yosef Hassid who was diagnosed at age 26 with Schizophrenia, a very debilitating mental disorder, underwent a lobotomy, whereby they removed the front part of his brain, and he died as a result of complications of the surgery. You can search on YT for videos of Hassid.
