How horrible to ever post a comment like that about Itzhak Perlman and his talent. I agree with the comments below. He's truly in a class by himself, and one of the world's most talented violinists. This man has been my violinist idol since I was in the fourth grade. I am a violinist. My ear is very well-trained. He is truly talented.

Shameless namedropping.

Perlman is good, yes, but he's no Milstein, or Heifetz, or Kogan, or Gitlis, or Ricci. THEY were in a class by themselves, especially the great Heifetz.

Itzhak Perlman belongs in a class all by himself. What makes his playing so different is his vividly unique signature, the subtle ways he conveys the music brings tears to one's eyes. His playing is always a work of art, not just notes, but the whole music. There are more than a few violinsts who can dsplay technical mastery, "pizazadry" and gymnastics but there are very, very few who can play the music and Perlman belongs to this very, very small group. Even these days, when age does appear to creep into his technical capabilities, nothing is lost in his ability to pierce the heart, particularly with his warm and humane music making. We love him!

He's got a musicians heart. And yes there is a distinction.
