Gil Shaham Interview

October 12, 2005 at 02:54 AM · Gil Shaham Interview

Gil answers some very good questions, including How playing with an orchestra is different to a violin and piano recital, how to stay focussed in practice, dealing with nerves, and more. A very good read.

Very interesting. The answers on fidelity to the score and the difference between playing with orch. vs piano shed light on really important issues (the latter question was a good one to someone who really knows).

Thanks for posting this link!

Cheers!
