Robertson & Shaham
Playing violin sounds like fingernails scratching on a chalkboard. That’s how Gil Shaham’s mother reacted to his wish to learn the instrument. But he won out, and later even won a Grammy. What he says about Korngold’s magnificent violin concerto: »It takes a listener on a journey of about half an hour, and at the end, you’re transformed. You feel like you’ve read a great novel or seen a great movie.«
