Today David Mellor explores the recorded legacy of the late Ginette Neveu in conversation with fellow violinist Tasmin Little. Ginette Neveu died in an air crash nearly 50 years ago at the age of 30. As a teenager, she had won the prestigious
Wieniawski competition ahead of David Oistrakh , but the enthusiasm of audiences and critics made it clear this was no flash in the pan.
After spending the war in her native
Paris, she was one of the first artists signed up by EMI to rebuild their catalogue. Tasmin Little finds in her small but precious recorded legacy plenty of evidence of the qualities that made the world mourn her death so deeply.
