that is really great! This is how I would imagine Kreisler himself playing it. Anyhow, I don't know of any other violinist, whose sound is closer to Kreisler's than Oscar Shumsky.
The Rode Strad of 1715 is one of the largest models Strad made by several millimeters in every dimension. But that isn't the sole source of Shumsky's immense sound. That was his amazing gift. Incredible!
