Signed undated Community Concert Association (San Francisco) recital program from the outstanding violin virtuoso. Two file holes, otherwise fine. Spivakovsky was famous for his vi olinistic idiosyncrasies – he famously held the bow above the frog – but left nearly 60 superb recordings covering a wide range of repertoire, including a lithe rendition of the Sibelius concerto with Tanno Hannikainen. He was the first to perform Bartok’s Second Concerto in America (under Rodzinski) and a later performance by him in NY was deemed “first rate” by Bartok himself. Show more
