Agree. would i sound predictable if i said there should be a couple of names placed a tiny bit higher than heifetz in the olympus of the violin ? ....such as.. the 'mighty' KOGAN

profound statement. thank you for this reminder (which I think we all know but often forget).
Philippe Hirshhorn is one the best but underrated violinist I've seen and heard. Unfortunately, we did not hear much from him, in terms of recordings. I heard that he was a perfectionist. He didn't think that he was good enough. Footages of his performances are very hard to find indeed. So this video clip is a TREAT. Thank you for posting. This is very much appreciated. If you have more from this documentary, I would appreciate if you could post more of this on YouTube. Thanks again.

Let me comment maisky's words about perfection.I dont agree with him when he says perfection is 'unreachable',i simply believe that there's no such thing,indeed that it MAKES NO SENSE-neither logical nor semantic.Running 100 mts can get 'perfect':supposing one reaches the speed of light.But in Art and music interpretation there are too many variables-and most of them are subjective
