A wonderful and rare glimpse inside the mind of a maestro
Pinchas Zukerman dissects the Violin Concerto No. 3 from the perspective of both the maestro waving the baton - and the soloist playing the fiddle- in this exceptional broadcast from CBC.
Listening to what he is thinking as he conducts and plays is quite wonderful…. a shrug of the shoulder here, a unconscious lean to the first violins there.
A literally play-by-play commentary: just about everything that’s going through his brain as he conducts and plays is described.
I’ve never heard anything quite like it. And I loved it.
