I love Itzhak Perlman, the violinist. He is especially fun to listen to live, as he’s enjoying himself on stage and you have the feeling that it’s all so easy for him. The funny thing is, he has those absolutely huge hands and it looks as if the violin is a toy. The violin Perlman playis is a Stradivarius and as you may have heard, those are some of the most expensive violins in the world, which cost millions. But his playing is so virtuoso and mellow at the same time and this doesn’t come just from the violin. He could make any violin sound good, the Stradivarius is only a bonus, so to speak. If you get the chance to hear him live, go by all means!
