The legendary finnish violinist Heimo Haitto. He won the London violin competition when he was 13. After that he played in USA as a soloist with all the big orchestras. His life was very difficult and he was 10 years without playing the violin after this recording was made living as a bum. Then practiced a couple of months and made a recording with one take. It is fantastic! Came back to Finland and I met him and had some lessons with him. He used to play quartets with Jascha Heifetz and had a Del Gésu made from the same wood as Michael Rabins Guarneri. Heimo gambled his away...well anyway a magical violinist and he playd straight to my soul!
