Original Photograph Trading Places!

Original photograph of the two great artists trading places, with Michael seated at the keyboard and Badura-Skoda holding the violin and smiling mischievously.  Stamped by the photographer on the verso, "Adrian Boddington Photography...Melbourne."  This photograph dates from Rabin's 1952 tour, when he met up to play some sonatas with Badura-Skoda, who was also touring in Australia at the time.  This image is reproduced in Anthony Feinstein's "Michael Rabin: America's Virtuoso Violinist."  Creasing to the lower left corner, else fine.  6.2 x 8.2 inches  (16 x 21 cm.).

 From Rabin's personal collection, by descent to his sister. (3824)
