VAI offers a DVD of Great Violinists on the Bell Telephone hour and there is a well-played but schlockily staged Tchaikovsky Concerto excerpt and perhaps even a couple of other things. A worthwhile DVD if you like violinists of the Golden Era such as Menuhin and Elman. In mono of course, and no Heifetz.Rabin certainly has his crosses to bear or demons to fight with. I also often find myself concluding that he tended to anticipate the barline and also to play ever so slightly sharply (or perhaps the orchestras were just playing flat). Whether these things were conscious, I certainly can't say. Back then they were more common, as in a live performance they gave the soloist a slight advantage in standing out from the orhcestral strings, but I don't think you hear it so much these days, especially on recordings.
His Wieniawski No. 2 is wonderful.
Later,
