Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin

Have you given much consideration to Anne Sophie Mutter?

Perlman today is teaching at Julliard. It’s a dream gig for him, passing his wisdom on to a new generation of musicians and playing all that chamber music he missed because of his solo career.

Thanks for sharing. The Sibelius Violin Concerto is one of my favorites. It suits Perlman's style perfectly.

The Bach on the other hand...

A lot of musicians, past and present, reach a stage and or an age in their lives where the concert/traveling routine loses it luster and appeal. It's not the easiest life to live.

Perlman at age 63 probably enjoys teaching minds full of mush and doesn't miss the continual pressure.

However, I hope he continues to give public performances even on a less crowded schedule......I'd pay double to see him in person.
