He’ll be in Toulouse soon, too.
What a wonderful thing to see and hear! I am looking forward to his performances at 100!
Sublime playing from the old Master !! Chapeau !!
Magnificent! Thanks so much for posting this. We heard him live in (of all places) Kingston, Ontario, Canada and were spell-bound from start to finish. And now this. A huge gift. Many thanks!
It’s nice to see Mr. Pressler’s older friend Ivry Gitlis in the picture together with the still only 89-year-old pianist. The 91-year-old violinist is probably telling his younger friend how it feels to be enjoying life during the last decade of a man’s first century.
Not sure who is the man in the middle, but he does look a lot like Paavo Jarvi.
What a marvellous concert!! The maturity and lifetime of experience matched by the burnished playing of the youthful Ebeners make for an evening of incandescent chamber music making. Indeed a wonderful attestation to the triumph of the human spirit!
