Fritz Kreisler: La Gitana | Elmar Oliveira, violin; Lise Kiter, piano

[@EliasAxelPettersson]

Oliveira is always so inspiring. He takes risks when he plays and cares more about the musical effect over all else. And this is not to say that he is phenomenally equipped with a brilliant technique, for he is, but he is less interested in missing a note or two if the musical line is present. I recall a live performance of Bruch's Violin Concerto in either 1999 or 2000 in Rochester, NY. He was simply stunning and had such verve. A wonderful speaker and humble man as well. Thank you, Maestro!

Hi Elmar, I think you wrote a eulogy poem for my father, Benjamin Steinberg. "Where is your grave?" you asked. Do you remember? I still have the original typed version. Thank you very much for writing it. Barbara Steinberg
