You might ask, who is Heimo Haitto (1925-1999)? "Prone to Violin"s tells that "Heimo Haitto was a Finnish violinist, teacher, conductor, writer, and actor born (in Viipuri, Finland) on May 22, 1925. He is Finland’s most famous violinist, although he is now (unjustly) forgotten. Haitto was a notorious, unconventional classical musician, in the style of Nicolo Paganini, Arthur Hartman, Elias Breeskin, and Eugene Fodor. He was a gambler and loved drinking, although it has been said he was not an alcoholic. He deliberately turned his concertizing career off a couple of times. For a time, he actually lived the life of a vagabond, being literally homeless, traveling by train, in boxcars. However, notwithstanding all of the turmoil, idiosyncrasies, romantic excesses, and bohemian lifestyle, he was a brilliant violinist and a genuine artist. I think it can be said he had an extraordinary zest for life. YouTube now contains some of his performances. As Pinchas Zukerman has done, Haitto married a cellist (Beverly LeBeck, pupil of Pablo Casals) and, later on, an actress (Marja-Liisa Nisula.) He married a third time in the mid 1970s. Haitto’s playing style reminds me somewhat of Ivry Gitlis."
Haitto made only a handful of recordings: these two singles in c. 1958 when he had one of his religious period, one 10" in the fifties and one LP in the seventies, all are very, very rare. These two singles are not in perfect condition but they are very hard to find so they are worth of buying if you are interested in the sidewalks of violin art.
