Einstein again

Edited: August 16, 2023, 3:05 PM · We've had threads about this.
This youtube offering is confidently reported to be Flesch from 1936 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQFmSnG5Ets

But I've created another thread because Bronowski's Ascent of Man has been resurrected for its 50th anniversary, and here is Ep 7. At the end there's an implied recording of Einstein on a 78, but who is it really?

So, as you say, who is the violinist?
