The Michigan Daily - Friday, September 23, 1988 - Page 9 Perlman's perfection Violin's virtuous virtuoso BY ARI SCHNEIDER SUNDAY afternoon Ann Arbor will have a unique opportunity to see one of the greatest performing artists in the world perform. Itzhak Perlman - "the consummate master of the violin" (according to Newsweek) - has appeared with every major orchestra in the world, about the concerns and potential of handicapped and disabled people ev- erywhere he performs. Furthermore, Perlman's humanity and irrepressible joy at the making of music are qualities that led Presi- dent Reagan to honor this Israeli- born violinist with the Medal of Liberty in 1986. Born in 1945, Perlman completed his initial training in Tel Aviv, and The Program "Hindemith's Sonata in E-flat major, Op. 11, No. 1 Rasta and Ramones RAS recording artist Ini Kamoze brings what's described as electronic Sly and Robbie-style with steel drums reggae to St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit tonight in a 'Reggae Relief' show. Special guests are Edube from Africa, and, from De- troit, the reggae, calypso, soca and zouk sounds of aptly- named Spectrum. And if you're in town for the weekend, New York punk rock forebears the Ramones will be at Harpo's Saturday night. The legendary three-chord wonders are touring in support of their greatest hits album Ramonesmania (no word yet on whether a Broadway musical is to follow). eBeethoven's Sonata No. 7 in C minor, Op. 30, No.2 *Bloch's Sonata No. 2 (Poeme mystique) Itzhak Perlman may have an unorthodox practice technique - while watching televised Mets games - but it's helped hitn become famous. And the Mets are 11 1/2 games up. Tower Continued from Page 8 play, people have to listen," says Burgess. "I always have a huge audience... it carries a huge emo- tional impact - I can set the mood for someone's day." Sounds like sublime, highbrow stuff. But is it? Actually, any music can be adapted for the carillon. If you hear a chime of bells someday that sounds remarkably like "Mack the Knife," you're probably right. "Some of my favorites are folk mu- sic and ragtime tunes - my friends complain when I play music they don't like," Burgess says. Anyone within earshot can hear the bells from 12-1 p.m. and 5-6 p.m. daily, and the Summer Series will present recitals on Monday evenings from 7-8 p.m. until October. Also, this Friday at 5 p.m. Margo Halstead and her Quasimodo, Phillip Burgess ,will pound out Ronald Barnes' "A Concerto that Two Can Play." It's better in stereo so if you're interested in going up to the observation deck and among the bells, it's open Wednesdays from 4-5 p.m. and Sat- urdays from 11-12 p.m. on most of the great concert stages alone or in collaboration with other great artists, such as Andre Previn and Pinchas Zuckerman, on many national television shows, including "Live at Lincoln Center" and The Tonight Show, and in recording stu- dios here and abroad. Perlman's recordings with EMI/Angel, Deutsche Grammonphon, CBS Masterworks have won him numer- ous Grammy awards and nomina- tions, including his most recent recording with Samuel Sanders, My Favorite Kreisler, which won a Grammy nomination. While Perlman's virtuosity on the violin makes him a great musi- cian, he has also proved himself a great man. Perlman, who lost the use of his legs from polio he had as a child, has worked to educate people then studied at the Julliard School in New York under Ivan, Galamian and Dorothy DeLay. His world career began when he won the prestigious Leventrit Competition in 1964. In April 1980, Newsweek featured him with a cover story, and in 1981 Musical America named him "Musician of the Year." Collaborating with Perlman on this concert, Samuel Sanders returns to Ann Arbor for his seventh appearance. Besides his association with Perlman, Sanders' collaborative work with many other eminent musicians has taken him to Europe, the Soviet Union, the Philippines, the Far East, and North and South America. He has played at the White House six times during the Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and Reagan administrations. This concert featuring Perlman and Sanders is guaranteed to be an exciting and enjoyable opening to the 110th Annual Choral Union Seies.
