Zino Francescatti (1902-1991) was one of the great violinists of the twentieth century. Though perhaps somewhat thrown into the shade during his active concert career, as were many virtuosi, by the towering figure of Heifetz, he now more than holds his own on his numerous recordings, which may especially appeal to those connoisseurs of violin playing who find Heifetz a bit too overbearing.

These recordings of three warhorses of the Romantic violin concerto repertoire are taken from various live broadcasts. In the Tchaikovsky and Bruch especially the violinist's warmth of tone, ingratiating phrasing and technical accuracy--remember, these are live performances--are certainly impressive, with the Adagio of the Bruch being especially touching. The American orchestras play with involvement under the batons of Rodzinski and Frank Black respectively, and the period monophonic sound has been cleaned up without compromising the vividness of the solo instrument.

Francescatti's studio recording of the Saint-Saens B minor Concerto with Mitropoulos was highly acclaimed and remains a classic; the live performance on this CD with Charles Munch does nothing to supplant it, partly because the broadcast sound is much lower in quality than in the other two performances on this disc, being muffled and congested, with the solo violin frequently covered, but also because for whatever reason Francescatti sounds much less secure here, with one or two passages in the middle movement going off-kilter and a noticeable number of off-center notes and missed shifts sprinkled throughout. Still, this recording overall is worth hearing as more than just a historical document. The packaging of the CD, incidentally, is deluxe, with a lengthy essay on Francescatti by the late Henry Roth that originally appeared in the Strad magazine, though the recordings discussed do not include the ones actually on the CD.

Description:
Using unique actual daily share repurchase data from Hong Kong, this paper investigates share price performance surrounding and following actual share repurchases. It is found that repurchasing firms buy back shares following price drops, suggesting that they behave opportunistically when implementing actual share repurchases. On average, the initial 3-day market response to actual repurchases is about 0.43%. Repurchasing firms do not seem to exhibit superior abnormal performance over long horizons when they make actual share repurchases. However, the price performance of repurchasing firms varies across firm size and market-book value ratios, and shows a clear and consistent pattern. The market responds the most favorably to repurchases that are made by small and value (high book-to-market value) firms. Over a long horizon, there is some evidence that repurchases made by value firms show superior performance. The three-year buy-and-hold abnormal return, which is measured against a portfolio of control firms that are matched by size and book-to-market value ratios, is over 20%. At least, repurchases made by high book-to-market value firms, for which undervaluation is more likely to occur, can benefit long-term shareholders.
