I agree with you. but also i understand your opponent KS. I'm 100% positive the great deal of the record success lies on Slava's shoulders.

Vengerov is one of the only more famous personalities who has struck been able to strike me as a genuinely lovely person. Ahhh. Wonderful video.

I may have my history a bit skewed, but I don't believe Beethoven hiimself was a particularly humble person (and who could blame him? :)

One could argue that violinist per se are pretentious - but let's not go there. I agree that the personality of a musician greatly affects the way they play. However, I can not see why you feel that they are less of a musician for being pretentious. Many of the greatest musicians have had this character trait and have produced some of the most surprising and amazing music.

I do, Heifetz was also pretentious, but he was a gentleman , humbleness is something 100% necessary to be a truth depth musician. I don't talk about trivialities, I talk about really important facts of the personality of a musician. But anyway, if you like him I have no problem!

Oh Gods... really. Who cares!? It's the music that matters. Whether they wear tuxedos or hobo rags, clown suits or a duck outfit it matters not one ounce. The music's the thing! When one listens to fantastic performances of any piece, be it the simplest tune or the most difficult concerto, one is granted the greatest of gifts - an insight into the life of all those involved with it; the composer, the conductor, the soloist and the orchestra. Stop quibbling over trivialities. Listen!

I don't fear it, I just see it as very unnecessary. Just as it was so unnecessary for you to twist my words and make such a smart-ass reply.

> Wow, finally something classical being > performed without everyone all > pretentiously dressed and with that "I'm > better than you." look on their faces. Are you so easily intimidated? (BTW, this is called a rehearsal, hence the casual dress. But I didn't know ties and jackets were so scary. You must be afraid of waiters too.)

Wow, finally something classical being performed without everyone all pretentiously dressed and with that "I'm better than you." look on their faces. THIS is how it should be. Everyone just coming as they are.

How fortunate he was to have the great Rostropovich to work with him personally like this. Most of us will never have such an experience.

What a pair! It's so sad to think that Slava's gone... there will never be anyone like him.
