I absolutely love this violinist

When in Chicago I went to see him several times, my favorite at the outdoor venue Ravinia in Chicago.
He played a gypsy song that brought tears to my eyes, he can make the violin reach in and grab you
by the heart strings. He can be quite humorous too, His talent is amazing.
His story is remarkable well worth the read.

I applaud his amazing skill.. but it's not my type of music tbh....

I'm not keen on the violin as a solo instrument most of the time... unless it's played by one of 2 of my favourite Violinists... here is one...of them

Nicola Benedetti...a Scottish Violinist

this one is sooo beautiful accompanying Rod Stewart it's quite emotional to listen to

How about a fiddle? I saw this on Broadway with Zero Mostel playing Tevye.

Zero was my favorite version of that one, liked them both but his face is that extra icing. Thank You!

He was (is) my favorite violinist. I had the privilege and pleasure of seeing him once. Watching him caress his violin was like watching an angel. When my friend and I went back to see him again, we were told he had to cancel his appearance due to illness. Two weeks later he died of a stroke...too young at age 39.
