I consider this the experience of a lifetime. If you haven't seen Itzhak Perlman live, you have to do it.
In the second half it would have been wonderful if he would have had a microphone so people could hear what he was saying. I could not hear his comments.
A perfect evening. He is outstanding. You will absolutely love this event.
There is not a better description. "Beautiful" possibly. There are few things in life that you can't really put a price on because of their true beauty and ability to inspire us. This performance was one of those "once-in-a-lifetime" experiences you never forget regardless of the cost (which wasn't that much).
Had wanted to see him in person for about 20 years - finally did it. Music in the first half was lighter than expected. Had hoped to hear a bit of the Four Seasons. But second half was the highlight - hearing him speak is half of the benefit of seeing him. He is gracious, brilliant, funny. Liked the musical selections better in the second half - more of the slow, melodic songs that allow him to make the violin sing.
Itzhak Perlman was absolutely marvelous. I was not only highly impressed with his incredible skill and talent, but the selection of the pieces were so varied from the masters (Beethoven and Stravinsky) to Gershwin and John Willias (The Theme from Schindler's List). It was one of the most enjoyable evenings I've spent in a very long time. I will treasure this as one of the most memorable events of my life. THANK YOU for bringing this event to Atlanta!!
I guess he's a "artist," but talking to the audience without a microphone . . come on! Quarling with an uninformed audience about when to and not to clap . . . come on! Starting late and talking interminable breaks for no apparent reason . . . come on! During his freestyle portion I was afraid someone was going to "offensively" shout out a favorite; "Brahm's 4th, opus 36 . . . that I'm sure would have sent him riding off into the sunset (stager left) on his scooter.
