A View from the Stands Grammy-nominated violinist plays at Royce Hall MUSIC: Though only 29, Shaham is already experienced performer of works from Beethoven to Bach By Barbara McGuire Daily Bruin Contributor Violinist Gil Shaham thinks luck is what kept him from playing on any street corners to pay rent. But his natural ability to manipulate a violin bow has just as much shaped what is a prestigious repertoire. But in making waves in the musical scene since age 10, Shaham has more than just luck ­ he has a discipline which has enabled him to skip over this "stepping stone" in the life of a musician. Shaham compares his musical discipline, coupled with its prestige and difficulty, to the job of an actor. "I guess what we do is we're sort of like actors. We get a script and we try to bring it to life for an audience," Shaham said in a recent phone interview.

Meeting gil shaham is like getting two gifts in one a magnificent violinist andthe epitome of perfect man. Written by Danielle L Corbett November 3, 1996.
http://www.u.arizona.edu/~dlc/lunch.html
The Lunch
Halloween Day, October 31, 1996, the UofA violin studio and faculty had lunch with Gil Shaham at the Union Club that overlooked the scenery of the University of Arizona's campus. Gil sat in the middle of the rectangular table while 10 or so students gathered around him. He was very much the focus of attention. What struck me about Gil Shaham was how inviting he was. He shook almost everyone's hand and made an courteous attempt to remember everyone's name. There were many people at the table that really didn't know much about Gil Shaham. Some knew by word of mouth that he was an extraordinary violinist, or others thought that he was just another one of those obscure professional violinist that we usually have teaching master class. Those who didn't know him and went to his spectacular Four Seasons performance the night before at Centinnial Hall with St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, soon came to realize that he is the creme de la creme of professional violinists out there. When the students became comfortable with the idea of talking to a celebrity and when Shaham became comfortable with shy and star struck students, interesting dialogue started flowing over the grilled chicken salad Shaham was eating. Beth Schnider, a graduate student and a pretty good player at the UofA, asked Shaham if he would do any more recordings with the guitar. Shaham stated that he would or was at least interested in doing so. He also noted that he like the sound that occurs when the violin and guitar is coupled together. Conversations and questions ranged from favorite concerto, getting the younger generation interested in classical music, bows, and favorite contemporary groups. When asked by froshman Jan Stroda, if he listened to modern music, Shaham said yes. He especially liked jazz and he is trying to follow more of the releases of R.E.M..

Why I Fell In Love With Gil
It was by accident that I discovered Gil Shaham. It was one of those rare occasions that I would attempt to buy a compact disc or any recording of any sort (I think the last time I bought a recording during that time was in the last eight years). My family celebrate painting the house more than we do in buying recordings. I wanted to buy a recording, any recording, of the Wieniawski violin concerto no. 2 because I was mad that my private lesson teacher assigned me the Bruch/Mozart K214 instead of the Wieniawski. The funny part is that I've never heard about that concerto before, but I knew it was a hard one and I wanted to play it. So I went to this classical music store and just bought the only new copy they had of a Wieniawski concerto (even though it was $15.98- without tax(!) and that was about 4 to 5 years ago!!!!! The only thing I was muttering as I left the store was "this better be a good recording" because I would have been be very mad if it wasn't. I took the cd home. Apprehensive about unwrapping it because after I unwrap it, then there would be no way I could take it back...but I unwrapped it anyway. I placed the cd in my cd player, crossed my fingers, and pressed the play button. I went directly to track number 4. Heard the sound of the orchestra playing. Sounded pretty nice. Kept waiting for the soloist to come in. A big, beautiful sound echoed off the walls and I was happy with the cd. The longer I played the cd and gotten past that one movement and onto the rest of the songs, I said to myself "this guy is damn good". I was thoroughly impressed by his rendition of Sarasarte's Zigeunerweisen.

Melodies for a new millennium
BY ADAM BAER
Musicspeak
Playing catchup is nothing new to renowned violinist Gil Shaham. A product of soloist-manufacturer Dorothy Delay, Shaham came to Juilliard, like teams of virtuosi, originally by way of Israel. Setting up shop in New York wasn't easy: though Shaham was young — a mere thirteen years old — his membership in a class of more successful prodigies with names like Midori, Nadja and Anne-Akiko pushed him to the back of the line where he worked diligently to claim his stake: practicing his violin (and English) in private, Shaham developed rock-solid skills, his playing going virtually unnoticed for years. But stepping in at short notice for an ailing Itzhak Perlman, the teenage Shaham burst on the scene with two successful solo spots under André Previn in London. Since that time, his career's swelled to become one of the most buoyant and lucrative in classical music: with a multitude of recordings and headlining concert dates, he's earned the coveted support of some of music's great legends. Shaham no longer stands in anyone's shadow; he commands more power than few other musicians altogether. And yet, though his career no longer plays second fiddle, there still remains an element of youth in his offerings. Shaham's latest recording, which takes on Arvo Pärt's

Excerpted from Strings Magazine, November/December 1999, No. 82 Gil Shaham
Unspoiled by Success

by Edith Eisler One person’s misfortune can be another’s lucky break. Everybody knows stories of understudies who became famous overnight when they stepped in for an indisposed star. This happens not only in the theater but on the concert stage as well. When violinist Itzhak Perlman could not travel to London in 1989 because of an ear infection, Gil Shaham, age 18, got his big chance taking over the Bruch and Sibelius Concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra. Tell me something about your background. My parents are both Israeli—in fact, my mother’s family claims to have been in Jerusalem for nine generations! I was born in 1971, in Urbana, Illinois, where my parents were doing post-doctoral studies at the university. We all went back to Israel before I was two years old, so I have dual citizenship and can go to, say, Cuba on my Israeli passport and Syria on my American passport. That covers a wide range of travel. I grew up in Jerusalem and came to this country when I was 11, and I’ve lived in New York ever since. Are your parents still in Israel?

How do you spell "relief?" R-O-L-A-I-D-S. How do you spell "boring?" C-O-P-L-A-N-D. Even the magnificent artistry of violinist Gil Shaham and his pianist sister Orli Shaham couldn't breath life into Copland's sterile, austere Sonata for Violin and Piano heard in Carmel's Sunset Center this week in the Carmel Music Society's final concert of the season. Although there is much to admire in many of Copland's works, this sonata goes on and on, seemingly forever. I doubt that it is a work likely to inspire many of the young violinists in the audience (and many were there accompanied by their violinist teachers) to put this piece on their wish list.
That said, the rest of the concert was in a word, superb! The crown jewel of the evening was the concluding work, the Brahms Sonata No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 108. This was music making on a sublime level. Exhibiting a total command of his instrument, Gil Shaham gave us a very persuasive account of this work, and it was masterful playing that always served genuine musical purposes. There was never any gratuitous display of technique or virtuosity - just glorious music making The Adagio movement was a delicious interlude that seduced us with its tonal subtleties. Sitting in the last row of the hall up against the back wall, the

He also made an extensive recital tour with his sister, pianist Orli Shaham. His engagements abroad included several weeks of European recitals as well as concerts with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, the Israel Philharmonic (as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations), the Russian National Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris and the Tonhalle Orchestra of Zurich, among others. Mr. Shaham was born in Champaign- Urbana, Illinois, in 1971. In 1973 he moved with his parents to Israel where at the age of 7 he began violin studies with Samuel Bernstein of the Rubin Academy of Music and was immediately granted annual scholarships by the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. In 1981, while studying with Haim Taub in Jerusalem, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic. That same year he began his studies with Dorothy DeLay and Jens Ellerman at Aspen. In 1982, after taking first prize in Israelís Claremont Competition, he became a scholarship student at Juilliard, where he worked with Ms. DeLay and Hyo Kang.
