...reverence for the work, which the audience did not expect to feel. The first movement was played slowly, almost ponderously, but with careful pacing and calm control so that it moved with inexorable continuity. At the movement's highpoint, Lefkowitz displayed dazzling virtuosity in the intertwining, unbelievably intricate Kreisler cadenza. The audience was fascinated and broke into applause after the first movement. The third movement Rondo picked up a light, Viennese lilt that occasionally became reminiscent of a Bohemian dance.

Autographed portraits of Kreisler, Szigeti, Milstein-all good friends of Galamian's -glare down from the walls. The air seems to tingle with his awesome reputation in the violin world. Isaac Stern calls him "the most effective violin teacher in the country," and he certainly has the alumni to prove it. Most of the brightest young soloists in the U.S. are Galamian products; Itzhak Perlman, Young Uck Kim, Jaime Laredo, Paul Zukofsky and James Oliver Buswell IV. In addition...
