Midori Goto...

I have always been a fan of classical music. Just recently i have had a sincere craving to try something new, to learn something new i wouldn't have even thought of trying, and i've just been looming over the idea of practicing the violin. A strange choice i know, especially out of the blue. Over the years i've just had a really keen likeness towards the instrument and seen many prodigies and proteges who look so expressive when they play it. They look magnificently infused by their own playing. 


One of my good friends recommended a certain entrepeneur of the classical instrument called Midori Goto. The mastery of the violin she possesses is under no doubt extraordinary. Some of the scores she has learned and adopted are almost beyond physical levels of ability. It has been recorded that Ravel, a famous composer, who wrote the score Tzigane, expressed doubts as to whether certain passages were actually playable within his own  piece. At the age of just 19, Midori performed at Carnegie Hall and perfectly played Tzigane that is tearfully beautiful, not a note is missed. 

She is quite an inspiration to start learning myself but i think we'll see...

Here she is at her best...
