I always find that there is a real communication between voice and violin.
From Itzhak Perlman
Life is always full of challenges. I believe you're never happy unless you're consistently making challenges for yourself.
It is good medicine to go to a concert hall and forget the harshness of what's going on. It can be a very positive thing.
I'm a mushroom freak. I make a mushroom soup where I use maybe six or seven varieties, not just portobello and shiitake, but dried porcini and morels.
I always find Bach to be an expression of a love of life. There's an enthusiasm that's absolutely contagious.
Brahms is one of my all-time favorite composers.
Whenever I play recitals, the part where I talk about music and my experiences of music, audiences always like it. They feel more involved with an artist who talks to them. It's a nice experience for me as well.
I say to string players in small chamber orchestras, 'it's always easy to become a passenger on the journey in sound, just adding volume to the whole. But if you play in an individual way, it makes the difference between good and great sound in an orchestra.'
