(please, no humming of ... oops, too late) birthday!
I still remember fondly the days of discovering what is referred to in
some quarters affectionately, if somewhat irreverently, as 'the Itzy
and Pinky show': Pinchas Zukerman's duets and collaborations with
Itzhak Perlman. I was (somewhat belatedly) being introduced to and
educated in what I have come to regard as one of the pinnacles of
human achievement: virtuoso violin playing.
