Mischa Elman is lovely. He gets a lot of emotion out of the violin and has a distinctive style. It is too bad that the recording was so compressed. I would have loved to hear that violin with full sound.
Going back to older musicians (Elman died in 1967 I think) Geza Anda is a wonderful pianist. He played Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto behind the film "Elvira Madigan." I have a box set CD of him playing all of Mozart's piano concertos. He has the right touch. A very good recording of his, much better than Rubenstein, is Brahm's 2nd Piano Concerto. I did not think much of it until I heard him play it with Ferenc Fricsay conducting. He also plays all of Bartok's piano concertos with Fricsay.
