That PBS doc is well worth an investment of time. He is an amazingly gifted and generous man.
Great conductors make such a difference in performances! I was a season ticket holder for years when Neeme Jarvi was the Detroit Symphony conductor, but that orchestra lost their soul and many of their best musicians when his health forced him to retire. The musicians even dressed better in his presence. His encores always concluded with ‘Twinkle twinkle little star’. Talented, respected, loved, yet fun.
I went to an Itzhak Perlman recital around 1995. Just awe-inspiring how one unamplified guy with a violin could fill a large concert hall with sound. And such beautiful sound.
We saw them a couple of years ago in Tampa. Back then they were primarily a Chicago cover band and, while I loved their cover of Street Player, I preferred Chicago's originals to L&F's covers. So the concert was so-so for me. We had backstage passes and got to meet the band. That was fun. My SO's son took advantage of that to hand a love letter to Ksenia, letting her know he was available. HA! Gotta give him credit though.
h34r: A Stradivarius or Amati are amazing sound generators.
While doing research for making acoustic guitars, I learned about tonewoods and tap testing. I bought three sets of Alaskan spruce soundboards, two were cheap and one very expensive. While doing tap testing on the pieces, I was amazed at the difference in resonance and sustain. Stradivari must have had an amazing talent for picking the right woods.
