Fabulous violinist
He’s a fascinating violinist, playing not only the ‘repertoire’ pieces but also concertos by more recent composers like Adès and Dutilleux. Definitely recordings worth checking out!
I heard him when he played with the Dallas Symphony a few years ago. He did the Caprice #6 as an encore.
Inspiring personal story; he clawed his way back to performing after being severely burned in a fire.
Terrific player. I know recordings don’t usually make people rich anymore, but he deserves to have a recorded legacy preserved for posterity. (And if he gets rich, that’s OK too 🙂 )
Superb. I don’t buy many recordings anymore, but this one I will with certainty.
A fantastic player he is! His Mozart Turkish blew me away.
