And as a former violinist myself, I can’t stop my fingers from air-playing many of the melodies Tchaikovsky wrote. I know that just as it has remained in my heart for years, our audience will walk away feeling musically enriched by this wonderful music. Tchaïkovsky a toujours tenu une grande place dans mon cœur en raison de son incroyable faculté de raconter une histoire et de susciter des émotions profondes. Ayant été moi-même violoniste, je ne peux m’empêcher de jouer des doigts bon nombre des mélodies du compositeur.

  • Eugene Fodor, Drug-Haunted Violin Virtuoso, Dies at 60
    Eugene Fodor, drug-haunted violin virtuoso, dies at 60 Eugene Fodor, drug-haunted violin virtuoso, dies at 60 By T. Rees Shapiro Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, March 1, 2011; 9:11 PM Eugene Fodor, 60, a violin virtuoso whose pyrotechnic style and good looks made him one of the most dazzling performers of classical music in the 1970s but who later struggled with addictions to cocaine, heroin and alcohol, died Feb. 26 at his home in Arlington County. He had liver disease, his wife, Susan Davis, said. Raised in Colorado and trained at Juilliard, Mr. Fodor made international headlines in 1974 after taking top honors at the prestigious Tchaikovsky violin competition in Moscow, where he was the first American-born violinist to win a prize. He drew comparisons to Van Cliburn, the American pianist who had won over Russian audiences 16 years earlier. At the height of his fame, Mr. Fodor played more than 100 concerts and earned $350,000 a year. He wowed sold-out audiences at Carnegie Hall with his passionate solo performances and near-perfect technical ability. He was a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra and New York Philharmonic and was the featured performer at President Gerald Ford's first White House state dinner. With his chiseled jaw, wavy locks and paisley bow ties, Mr. Fodor became an overnight media sensation. He was a frequent guest on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." New York magazine dubbed him the "Mick Jagger of classical music." Comfortable in denim and snakeskin boots, Mr. Fodor was described by the New York Times as an "outdoorsman, a horseback rider, jogger, scuba diver and skirtchaser." He could play, too.
