of our era? She plays a three hundred thousand
dollar Amati fiddle. She has played for four U.S.
Presidents.

Never heard of her. Where does she fall on the "Slut / Nice Girl"
scale, where "Nice Girl" is Leila Josefowicz and "Slut" is Vanessa-Mae?
As for U.S. Presidents, their taste in classical music is laughable
(with the sole exception in recent years of Jimmy Carter, perhaps).

Brother Matthew,
May I respectfully point out that if Maria Neglia has already played
for 4 US presidents she is probably past the age where anyone would
care where she fits on the Hilary/Leila/Sophie/Nadja/Lara/Vanessa
scale of violinistic (in)decency?
Otherwise, go back to the corner you share with all the other sex
offenders on this ng.

Yes, but is she as good looking as Vanessa Mae? Otherwise none of the above
counts.

Tom Sweeney says she started her career at two. If she played for Carter
just before he left office, she need be no older than 21.
Vain-as-a-mare will doubtless appeal more to those who prefer them younger.

Those are convincing arguments ;))

during the late 70s. Joe apparently knew the great classical violinists
during the first half of the century and related how he won a quarter from
Heifetz and Milstein (shows they didn't talk to one another) by claiming
that he could play all four strings of the violin at the same time with a
modern bow. Heifetz (and I presume Milstein) were said to have stated this
was impossible. He then demonstrated how he did it (he loosened the tension
on the bow until the hair was so loose he could slide the violin between
the stick and the hair) and then played a jazz arrangement of a popular
song, which sounded incredibly rich. Seeing illustrations of some of the
arched bows from the 18th century made mwe wonder if violinists didn't use
this technique in Bach's day as well.

We have a third-rate violinist in our town who plays a $4 million-dollar
Stradivarius.
