An indispensable book for discussing the history of violin performance, "The Great Violinists" (by Margaret Campbell), the Tokyo Sogensha edition. The value of this book goes beyond simply introducing famous performers. It also sheds light on "little-known great violinists" and often-forgotten masters whose recordings and materials are now limited, making it an extremely important reference for record collectors and collectors of 78 rpm/early LP records. ✔ You have this name and record, but lack detailed information. ✔ You want to know the background beyond the liner notes. ✔ You want to trace the lineage of performance styles. We highly recommend this book to those who feel this way. It meticulously describes the personalities of the performers, the historical context, and the differences in their styles, making it a book that will deepen your appreciation of record listening. It is currently out of print and scarce, and is a valuable resource for the history of violin and recording history.
