Boy howdy, that Jew can fiddle! Yeee-haww!!

Is that Hunter S. Thompson in the second chair?

My left wrist freezes up just watching him play that, especially the sul-G parts. He has big fat sausage fingers and still makes it look so effortless.

He was born in Tel Aviv, Israel. Only on Fark.com would that matter.

Doggie McNugget: He was born in Tel Aviv, Israel.

...British Mandate of Palestine, technically.

Not that it matters.

Oh, whatever. +1.

Which the UN decided was Israel. Technically. Not that it matters.

Wasn't Israel when he was born there, is all I'm saying. Only on Fark.com would that matter.

/whatever that means.
//anyway, he plays beautifully...I don't give a damn where he was born.

Really? Really? Seriously, with a name like that you've got to suspect at least a trace of Red-Sea-pedestrianiam.

/Great find Subby.

Can't we all just get along and listen to the fiddlin' pre-Jew? Eeeeerr errrrrr eeeer errrrr...GO ITZHAK!!! Now dance!! Oops.

In a non-Jew related post, did it occur to anyone else that what he is doing is the 19th century (1800's for the century challenged) version of the rock guitar solo?

/I want my Virtuoso Hero.
//Hey that could work with the Wii controller!

Thank you subby.


/Loves me some Tchaikovsky.

I like classical music and while I can admire Perlmans technique there has always been something about hit tone that bugs me.

Certain violins have this kind of flat, hollow sound that drives me crazy and his seems to have it bad. It's almost sounds like someone stuffed it full of packing peanuts. I want to like what he is playing but... ugh. I just can't get past those damn harmonics.

Hit tone? Should be "his tone".

/preview is my friend

I had the pleasure of hearing/seeing him live once, and his violin was incredible. It's as if it was five times louder than any other violin in the orchestra.

More like Itzrock!
