Who have you seen perform at a live concert or who would you consider to be todays master violinist?

Of the major-league violinists, I've only encountered Nigel Kennedy live, and I wasn't impressed. His performance was a failure of style over content.I've always liked Anne-Sophie Mutter, though...

Anne-Sophie Mutter... I've not listened to anything recent of hers. Can you recommend anyting to try?

I seem to recall a couple of years back that a friend of mine from Stateside remarked about your uncle John Georgiadis being one of the best:
Quote:No kidding! Small world. I gotta find some titles with JG in them to recommend to you. I don't know if he is still alive but I remember he was a top-notch violinist.
That quote came from a dear friend of Shirley's and mine who lives in Galway NY named Don Drewecki, a sound/video recordist and absolute Classical Music fan!

My uncle John is extremely good. Was leader of the London Symphony Orchestra for years.
