Pathetic!
Why is that ‘pathetic’ and what gives you the presumptuous attitude to say that? Perlman is the greatest violinist of our time and a living legend. He’s done everything there is and more. So keeping it fresh and dynamic is certainly a noble goal.
He is a living legend, with resources, clout and influence — and that is why he ought to have a greater goal in life than merely keeping *himself* from being bored. Think of Isaac Stern and the goals and achievements he had late in life.
Yes, think of Isaac Stern! I suggest you read some of the plethora of earlier posts some time ago about how Stern all but destroyed some careers and kept many major artists out of Carnegie Hall promoted events. Stern is a very poor example!
Didn’t know that. I had a favorable impression of Isaac Stern as the man who saved Carnegie Hall.
Yes Olassus you are pathetic!!
I’m never bored.
He certainly bores the rest of us………
Really?!
He’s one of the great musicians of all time and his playing will live for a long time. As for his talking, well, anyone with his life experience has got to be worth hearing.
He ain’t no Henny Youngman , who is a much better entertainer.
Oh, we shouldn’t discourage the milk of human kindness from commenting here. We sorely need the warmth of his/her generosity in these pages.
I’ve heard Perlman speak from stage on a few occasions and love listening to what he has to say. If you’ve done everything there is to do, I’m sure you’ve also seen and experience such interesting things. I’d go!
