Tom and the LPO are off on tour today - they'll be arriving in Toronto late tonight, then heading for the East Coast of the States (small matters like Carnegie Hall), back on 4 December. So we spent yesterday evening doing what you might expect a fiddler and his wife to do on the last night home before a tour. You guessed it: gawping at Heifetz videos on Youtube. This performance of Dinicu's Hora Staccato is unbelievable:

Wow, Heifetz is amazing. Have you seen other clips from that same performance? While he's performing Wieniawsky's Polonaise in D major, a student runs outside and yells, "Hey! Heifetz is giving a free concert inside!" All these people rush into the hall to hear him play. I love how cheesy it is.
