Soviet violin virtuoso Julian Sitkovetsky died on this day in 1958, from lung cancer - aged just 32.

The father of violinist and conductor Dmitry Sitkovetsky, he was a former prize winner at the Queen Elisabeth and Wieniawski International Violin Competitions.

Luminary David Oistrakh famously quoted: "… He had broad, firm, focused tone in all registers, flawless intonation, a rapid even trill, a swift, perfectly controlled staccato, strong, immaculate harmonics, and even, clear sautillé …. had he lived, he would have eclipsed myself and Kogan"
