Description: Profiles one of the world's preeminent violin teachers, Josef Gingold, a member of the Indiana University music faculty. Gingold's lifetime "love affair" with the violin is traced from his musical beginnings in Russia, at the age of three, through a performance career that included the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Toscanini and the Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell. Celebrated violinists Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, and Henryk Szeryng talk about Gingold's stature as a musician and teacher and his role as a link between the great traditions of the past and the young artists of the present and the future.
