I was weaned on the musical milk of Jascha Heifetz and Nathan Milstein. And though I will always admire these two great artists, if I had a choice, I would want to play like Aaron Rosand. I was so fortunate to have seen, heard, and met him numerous times in South Florida. Always a perfect gentleman, he is an artist who respects his audience and the music he shares with them. He is the last of the Golden Age of Violin Playing. A living treasure. We miss him dearly and hope he is well, healthy, and happy. Thank you Mr. Rosand!!
i only got to see him once in person, but i was a big fan ever since i first heard of him in the mid 70's. not just his playing, but his crusade to keep alive the idea of the romantic violin virtuoso who plays violin music, as opposed to music for the violin. if i had the talent, i'd be doing what he did, promoting and playing great romantic violin music that is forgotten or neglected, like this Bruch #2 (even Bruch preferred it to the g minor), or the Ernst f# minor, or the Joachim Hungarian concerto, etc. and too many recitals today are 90% piano/violin sonatas, with a little bit of Kreisler or Paganini thrown in at the end.

Lo que no se puede tener es la grandísima geta de cobrar un pedido de discos y no enviarlo ni devolver el dinero. Sinvergüenzas.
