Hi, Folks -

I'm guessing this is from the 1960s, based on the look of the clip. Here's violinist Henryk Szeryng (1918-1988), apparently on a French television show, "Musique pour Vous", with Leclair's "Violin Sonata in D Major, Op. 9 No. 3".

Wikipedia says:

In 1954, the pianist Artur Rubinstein - also a Jewish refugee from Poland - gave a concert in Mexico City; Szeryng visited him backstage afterwards, and accepted Rubinstein's invitation to come to his hotel to play music. Szeryng's playing of solo violin music of Johann Sebastian Bach that night, said Rubinstein, "reduced me to tears....Real music lovers want emotion--great moments--which Szeryng's playing gives them." [3] Rubinstein encouraged Szeryng to begin concertizing again, and introduced him to impresario Sol Hurok to help achieve this end. Rubinstein and Szeryng made music together regularly for the rest of their careers, and recorded much of the classic chamber music literature either as a duo or in a trio with cellist Pierre Fournier.
