The noisy clamor of taxis and airplanes was briefly replaced at an airport cab waiting area by the exquisite tones of virtuoso Philippe Quint and a 285-year-old violin. Quint is to play for 30 minutes to cabbies at Newark Liberty International Airport as thanks to driver Mohamed Khalil, who last month returned the irreplaceable 1723 Antonio Stradivari "Ex-Keisewetter" after it was left behind in Khalil's cab. The private solo performance by the Grammy-nominated violinist is the latest accolade for Khalil, who has already been presented with the city's highest honor, a medallion, by Mayor Cory A. Booker.

  • he is kinda cute! I don't know if it was his face or his talent!!

  • 1:28 just too cute and happy, I don't think is his talent is the happiness and joy that makes him look so handsome, we all look beautiful when we are happy and even more when we are doing something we like.

  • this guy is superb in concert

  • he's one of the best violinist.

  • 1:37 I just Jizzed in my Pants

  • Too bad this music is haram (impermissible) in Islam. Throughout history, in Muslim societies, musicians have been persecuted and their instruments confiscated and even destroyed. Islam is against many forms of music. Right now, in Somalia, Islamic militants have threatened all radio stations to stop playing music, thanks to the ruling Islamic scholars. Even school bells are banned! This taxi driver is a good human being for being so compassionate (a humanistic trait that we all have in us).

  • dumb ass must of been high, who leave's a four million dollar violin in the back seat of a cab? At least the cab driver had the heart to return it.

  • BELLO, BELLO BELLISIMO

  • Awesome.

  • Thank you

  • i like him alottt
