Extractions: Article from the Houston Chronicle: On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio as a child, and so he has braces on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches. To see him walk across the stage one step at a time, painfully and slowly, is an unforgettable sight. He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play. By now, the audience is used to this ritual. They sit quietly while he makes his way across the stage to his chair. They remain reverently silent while he undoes the clasps on his legs. They wait until he is ready to play. But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap - it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that sound meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.

Extractions: As Seen In By PIA LINDSTROM In the movie "Shine," a teacher warns a young musician to watch out for the Rach 3: "It's dangerous!" The Rach 3 is not a pterodactyl, it's Rachmaninoff's treacherously difficult Piano Concerto, No. 3. In this movie based on the Australian child prodigy David Helfgott, the young musician has a breakdown and spends years in a mental institution after tackling the Rach 3. Itzhak Perlman, the violinist who has a home on the East End, was host at a benefit screening of "Shine" at the East Hampton Cinema for the Hamptons Summer Music School, which is run by his wife, Toby Perlman. Q. Can music make you crazy? A. So many things can drive you mad as a child, not only music. This particular case was a very extreme situation. But it's not just musicians, it's tennis players, everybody. Any gifted child can potentially get in real trouble because of the way they are handled. I always say an unusual talent is an abnormality because kids don't have talents like that, not your average child. You're open for great dangers. You've got so many things that can go wrong. No. 1, parents. What is the agenda of a parent? Do they want their child to be successful, or do they want to have success through their child? For every child prodigy that you know about, at least 50 potential ones have burned out before you even heard about them.

Last update: October 31, 2003 at 10:53 AM William Randall Beard, Special to the Star Tribune October 23, 2003 Legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman opened the Schubert Club International Artist Series at St. Paul's Ordway Center for the Performing Arts on Tuesday evening. It marked his first Twin Cities recital in 15 years and one of only three he is playing in the United States this season. This was an unmistakably momentous occasion, and Perlman more than lived up to it, demonstrating why his superstar reputation is well deserved. The novelty on the program was the Poulenc Violin Sonata, written in 1942. Its dissonance and agitation reflected the anxiety of occupied Paris. Though not one of the composer's more famous works, it was characterized by the rich lyricism found in his more well-known vocal writing. A homage to the recently murdered Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, the sonata is a deeply heartfelt piece, and Perlman responded by making the violin seem to weep. He even found warmth in the edgy final movement. The performance became the highlight of the evening. The concert opened with J.S. Bach's Sonata No. 6 in G Major for Keyboard and Violin, BMW 1019. In Bach's conception, the keyboard is the violin's equal partner, even having a solo movement of its own. Perlman demonstrated an admirable humility in sharing the spotlight with accomplished pianist Rohan de Silva, who played the obbligato passages with flash.

Extractions: The most acclaimed violinist of his generation, Itzhak Perlman has achieved a level of respect and admiration throughout the world that bears witness to his humanity and his charm, as well as his formidable artistry. His irrepressible joy in making music has been one of the hallmarks of his career, and it was cited by U.S. President Ronald Reagan when he bestowed on Perlman the nation's Medal of Liberty in 1986. Perlman is also one of the most prolific and versatile recording artists of his time. For Sony Classical he recently reunited with Academy Award-winning composer and conductor John Williams for the recording Cinema Serenade with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, featuring new arrangements for violin and orchestra of popular contemporary film music. Included in the recording was an excerpt from Williams' Academy Award-winning score for Schindler's List, for which Perlman had been soloist on the film's soundtrack. The violinist has called his participation in the film one of his proudest achievements. Yo-Yo Ma , Frederica von Stade, Rudolf Firkusny and the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Seiji Ozawa Born in Israel in 1945, Perlman completed his initial training at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. He came to New York and was soon propelled into the international arena with an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1958. Following studies at the Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay, Perlman won the prestigious Leventritt Competition in 1964, and his burgeoning career was underway.
