Tonight\u2019s Live From Lincoln Center<\/a><\/em> featured violinist Gil Shaham<\/a> offering a wonderful performance of some of the better and less well known works by Pablo de Sarasate. Among them my favorite was his arrangement of music from Ambroise Thomas\u2019 opera Mignon<\/em>, known to all Suzuki violinists for the Gavotte, which is featured (in a much fancier and more impressive form) in Sarasate\u2019s arrangement.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
At the end of the program, Shaham was surprised with the 2008 Avery Fisher Award, which I understand is the highest honor given in the United States to a solo instrumentalist.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Congratulations, Gil Shaham! And those readers who have never heard him play are encouraged to have a listen. Why not start with his his recording of Korngold\u2019s and Barber\u2019s Violin Concertos<\/a>, two of my all-time favorite pieces of music?<\/div>\n
