NY Times - 5 Min To Make You Love Violin

[l33tplaya]

Did I finally beat Rue to post this? 

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/02/arts/music/five-minutes-classical-music-violin.html  I really liked Eddie South' s piece (courtesy Mazz Smith); several people chose Lark Ascending, including Hilary Hahn, and Andre Rieu chose...Andre Rieu, the punk. And Bach's double... I wish they had asked more violinists, and fewer critics.  Some pieces I haven't heard; I do wish they had asked Roman Kim for his selection...And they icluded a local favorite, Vijay Gupta. He was one of Nathaniel Ayer's advocates and teachers (The Soloist movie). https://guptaviolin.com/
