Itzhak Perlman's E string
Autumn 1984, my favorite string player , the god who is Itzhak Perlman was playing a few gigs with the Oregon Symphony. My viola teacher (who happened to be a violinist) played in the first violin section of the OSO. A limited number of rehearsal passes were available for members to distribute to their students. Would I like to go? Woohoo! I sit amongst about twenty music students scattered among the orchestra level seats in Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Most of them are half my age. (After a while you become inured to the embarrassment.) We wait in hushed awe. Perlman makes his way onto the stage from the wings with his metal crutches (I believe his disability is due to childhood polio) to vigorous applause from the orchestra and the rehearsal audience. A gentleman carries his Stradivarius for him until he is settled in a wide black metal chair. With his trademark good humor and a quip (I couldn't hear all that well but I think he joked about taking a tempo that was not humanly possible) he was ready for a brief rehearsal of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. Itzhak Perlman is a marvel to watch and, of course, a treat for the ears. When you see his hands (on tv), it's hard to believe that those thick fingers can move so quickly and with such precision. Instead of holding his instrument under his chin at a 45 degree angle from his chest as most players do, it sits almost on top of his left shoulder and nearly extends the line segment that the two shoulders form, but his head faces forward looking down.

Last year was another year, so, another Fiddler tour. Overall, I think this is a very good thing. Oh, I know, friends have pointed out to me that Perlman doesn't really "get" klez the way he could. And if I listen hard, I do hear it. But I also hear four of my favorite klezmer bands wailing with a very wonderful violinist, and all of them having a good time playing wonderful music together. The big problem with the Perlman/Fiddler tours isn't that Perlman has faults as a klezmer player. It's that his albums sell more than all other klezmer albums combined, because the market for classical musicians slumming as klezmorim is much greater than the market for amazing klezmorim playing their hearts out. As a result, four bands who have each payed a lot of dues (but not exclusively) now earn some reasonable royalties and have some extra gigs each year. If this were a just world, everyone who bought one of these albums would be excited by klezmer, and would return during the year to purchase other albumseven by the bands performing with Perlman here. Or, perhaps people who enjoy this playing would also try bands like

Browsing through my local record store recently I came upon some awful mishmash called something like "all the Jewish music you'll ever need," played by the London Symphony Orchestra or somesuch, consisting, mostly, of Fiddler on the Roof songs. Feh. Take a tip from Ari. You want an album that exemplifies klezmer music where it is today? You want an album that you can play for your grandparents or grandkids and everyone is gonna kvell (make happy noises). This is the one. First off, I really think that Perlman, otherwise known as a wonderful classical violinist, really gets this klezmer stuff. Second off, on this album he is playing with some of the best bands out thereand even better, bands that represent a variety of modern approaches to klezmer. And he's Perlman, so he manages to fit in, regardless. I mean, we're listening to styles that go from the full tilt boogie of the Klezmatics on "The Gayster" or "Fisherlid", to the bluegrass phrasing on Andy Statman's "Tati Un Mama Tants." For that matter, as an innocent byproduct, we also have a CD recording of Statman's wonderful, and seminal, "Flatbush Waltz," a song I haven't heard live or on recording in too many years.

Itzhak Perlman/Klezmer Conservatory Band
Itzhak Perlman/ Klezmer Conservatory Band
Itzhak Perlman is a legendary classical violinist, but he's also become a born-again practitioner of the traditional Jewish music known as klezmer. On Monday he'll be joined at the Mann by four of the best bands in the genre: Andy Statman's Klezmer Orchestra, Brave Old World, the Klezmatics and the Klezmer Conservatory Band. Hankus Netsky is the founder of the Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB), now in its 16th year at the vanguard of the Jewish music revival. "Conservatory" refers to the New England Conservatory of Music, where Hankus heads the jazz department and where he finds his best players. Though Boston is the band's home, the Netsky clan grew up in Mt. Airy and the ties remain strong. Perlman's In the Fiddler's House tour evolved from a segment of the PBS Great Performances Perlman has said he'd never played klezmer at home, but that he'd always heard it in the air. When he was finally persuaded to try it, he found to his astonishment that the music came flying out of his fingers. Hankus says the experience of learning klezmer by osmosis is pretty much the experience of all the young revivalists. "It's the American way to choose what we want to do. Not one among the revivalists is not eclectic. When we run into somebody who has played klezmer exclusively, we are surprised," Hankus said.

It is in the very delicate nuances that he 'misses' that the great Jewish player proves himself human. One giant in human terms, that is. But the most human of interpreters. Garry Ianco said: Perlman has provided his listeners with a most glorious recording. The vast tonal qualities he has when playing puts the listener into a state of enchantment. The wonderous Chaccone of the Dm Partita takes the listener through a gamit of worlds and tonal dimensions with its enormously
difficult variations. Anyone tired of so-called "authentic" performances should check out this recording, its bound even to impress the Auer schooled listeners. Jasper Cooper said: One of the worst Bach recordings I have ever heard. Muddled, unexpressive. The Violin Sonatas and Partitas are perhaps some of the best things Bach wrote, and this recording does not do them justice. I can only imagine that the people who recommend this recording have not heard any others.

Itzhak Perlman & Edward Elgar has always caused consternation among English critics, largely because it's so much better played from a purely technical point of view than any performance by an English violinist. With its relatively swift tempos, the performance is sometimes judged to be lacking in repose and "inwardness," whatever that is. All of this is complete nonsense.Perlman's playing of this extremely long and difficult concerto places it squarely in the grand Romantic tradition, which is precisely where it belongs. Itzhak Perlman's plays the pants off the piece, and in Daniel Barenboim he has an excellent Edward Elgar conductor leading an orchestra (the Chicago Symphony) of almost peerless quality. An essential Perlman disc. David Hurwitz

Itzhak Perlman's first visit to Utah was in the mid-1970s, and he performed here several times since, but never as a conductor. BY CELIA R. BAKER
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE

Itzhak Perlman's recent engagements with the Utah Symphony turned into love-fests between sell-out audiences and the man acclaimed as the world's greatest violinist.
When British musical-theater diva Elaine Paige appeared with the Utah Symphony in 2000, she, too, sold every seat in Abravanel Hall to an idolatrous crowd, though not necessarily the same crowd as Perlman's.
Mark down a milestone in the Utah Symphony's Olympic marathon, because Perlman and Paige are coming to town this week. The orchestra plays host to Perlman as a double-threat guest conductor/soloist Tuesday. Paige sings show tunes under the baton of Keith Lockhart on Friday and Saturday.
Perlman's first visit to Utah was in the mid-1970s, and he performed here several times since, but never as a conductor. In the past two years, Perlman began appearing as a guest conductor/soloist with a slew of major orchestras, and accepted a principal guest conductorship with Detroit Symphony in December.

LEON BATES Philadelphia native and pianist Leon Bates has performed with such notable symphonies as the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, American Symphony, Vienna Symphony, Sinfonica del di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Strasbourg Symphony in France and the Quebec Symphony. He has championed the music of African American composers, frequently including their works in his recital programs. Bates is also known for his work with young people, often performing as many as fifty residency programs each season in conjunction with orchestra or recital engagements.
