I certainly would like to have read some comments about other string players and conductors with whom Mr. Perlman has worked (or played). He must have some wonderful memories. Oh my, to have had just a few minutes with him. AND, what has he to say about the new crop of string players coming along? They seem to accomplish so much in such a short time. (Judy Kang, for example, and Sarah Chang), And, there was a Michelle, on the Westside, here in Los Angeles, that I heard play Tschaikovsky. I was spellbound. Her last name escapes me, (she was Asian!) but it seems I remember her stopping playing. It THAT were true, the world lost a real talent. I remember, I would say, "Look out, world, here comes Michelle, and her last name. (Can't seem to remember it.)

Great stuff!

I particularly like what he says about the association of technique and music.

Thanks.

"If someone is good at chamber music," he said, "They can do anything they want to do in music!"

So true. It's all about listening.

Great blog, Laurie! I love Perlman's playing, and his advice is great. I'm enjoying your coverage of the symposium. Keep it up!! :) Great job! I enjoyed to read very much!
Please keep up your nice works!
