+Wqcwxy Wqcwxy Possibly for the comfort it affords him with his particular physical needs.

+jeyepa hahahahaha so true

*****

+Ian S            YES

+David Segovia Julia Fischer plays amazing Bach, not Tchiakovsky on the violin.  She's also a concert pianist. Youtube her playing Grieg Piano Concerto. Pretty  amazing performance.

+David Spielberg Julia Fischer? Seriously?

Lifeless? He might not be moving around much, but if you look at his face, at his playing, and merely listen, you can see and hear that this is full of emotion. It's beautifully played and nearly brought me to tears. Would have, too, if I didn't pause to make this reply during the rest of the orchestra's playing.

+eschelar No argument there, I was just trying to point out that you're quite fortunate to have someone like that in your life. I love the sound of a violin in the room with me. But have had very few opportunities to do so. Probably to be counted on one hand. Hence... yer a lucky dawg chris riley. :)

@eschelar....I am not saying that my GF is in any way better than Itzhak. Schindler's list is not a particularly difficult technical piece to play, so its enduring quality is the passion in which it is played. Mr Perlman just didn't seem to put anything into the performance that night, like he had played it 1000's of times before. No matter how many times you've played a piece before and may not be excited about it anymore, you have to remember that there's that one person who might have come to the performance just to hear that one piece.

+chris riley You've got a girlfriend that plays Schindler with more emotion than Itzhak Perlman? How have you not melted into a puddle of pure awe? Lucky dog. :)

yeah well the guy's like 80. His old recordings of this piece were much better. 

I kind of agree. I went to see him perform at the Smith Center in Las Vegas about a year ago and was disappointed at the lack of emotion he played with. Among other things, he played Schindler's List which he recorded for the movie, and I can actually say that my girlfriend plays it with so much more emotion when she practices it at home than when he performed it that night.
