Louis Kaufman was famed during the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s as one of the great soloists and concertmasters of the concert hall and the film studio. In addition to over 150 major classical recordings, Kaufman played in many of the classic film scores, including Mutiny on the Bounty, Gone With the Wind, Rebecca, and later, Psycho. Amazingly, his 1947 recording of The Four Seasons was the first ever to be made, winning him the coveted Grand Prix du Disque in 1950, earning a place in the GRAMMY Hall of Fame in 2002 and almost single-handedly reviving interest in Vivaldi’s music.
