Itzhak Perlman: A Belated Birthday

Yesterday was Itzhak Perlman's sixty-sixth birthday. OTR wanted to write a personal recollection of what this master has meant to our generation, but he was pulled away from writing over the past week. Instead of an essay, his readers can enjoy this tribute featuring Perlman performing the theme from Cinema Paradiso (1989), one of OTR favorite films.












Grazie, grazie, maestro!
