The 2nd movement is unsurpassed. Nobody comes even close. His colour range is sublime and that beautiful expressive intonation giving the right direction to every note.
This goes against nearly all the things emphasized in modern violin teaching (e.g the indulgent violin entry in the opening that does not continue the orchestra theme seamlessly, massive slides Zukerman would refer to as "Schmier"), but it encapsulates teaching we need so much more of: play with all your heart and all your soul. The second movement should be mandatory listening for all modern Conservatory students. A magnificent artist, at the pinnacle of violin art.
