L Offer expires 4/23/92 An Israeli Violinist Takes Center Stage MICHAEL ELKIN Special to The Jewish News V iolinist Shlomo Mintz conducts himself with an aplomb that comes from years of experience at center stage in the musical world. Now he gets the chance to conduct others, too. Mr. Mintz is listed as con- ductor and soloist with the Israel Chamber Orchestra. The ensemble has been a star in a country where each musical group seems to form a constellation of its own. It takes considerable pluck for any musician to put his stamp on a group nearly 30 years old. But the suave violinist appears to have done just that. "It is a new dimension for me," says Mr. Mintz of the role he assumed in 1989. "And I am always looking for a challenge." One is challenged to find a musical honor or award that has eluded the violinist vir- tuoso, who performs all over the world and has made in- numerable recordings. For the record, Mr. Mintz considers himself a violinist first and foremost. But stan- ding on the other end of the baton has provided an in- valuable education, expanding his own musical horizons, he acknowledges. Not that Shlomo Mintz feels that the distance bet- ween conductor and musi- cian is an inviolable space. "I don't regard music as a case of bosses and slaves," he says. "It is a question of total harmony." Shlomo Mintz In a way, the chamber group seems a perfect home for Mr. Mintz. Many of the musicians are Russian emigres; Mr. Mintz is, too — although he left Russia for Israel at the age of 2. Thirty-one years later — and 22 years after making his concerto debut with the Israel Philharmonic Or- chestra under the baton of Zubin Mehta — Shlomo Mintz has matured into one of the classical music world's most prominent performers. The musician demands -( much of himself. "I am challenged by music," says Mr. Mintz. ❑ Michael Elkin is the enter- tainment editor of the Jewish Exponent in Philadelphia.
