Pretty sure it was classical violin, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten so popular. I have no idea where he is from, he was in a documentary of some sort because of his old age and playing ability, that is about as much detail as i can give and about all that one needs. You either know him or you don't. I heard him on the radio afew times but i failed in googlging "old violinist " etc since 99% of the world cares more about 5 year old violinists. | ||

There has been no world class classical violinist who started playing when he was 60-70. Elgar.. Heifetz is one of the greatest child prodigies of all time.. | ||

Meh, I figured that probably he heard wrong or something from whatever documentary he was viewing. Just figured that Heifetz would probably be the one that most documentaries would be about, least from what I've seen. | ||

All great violinist have started before eight, except a few like Isaac Stern who started at 12 if I remember. Heifetz, Menuhin, Milstein, Neveu, Ferras, Vengerov etc... were almost all prodigies. Violinist who were not "prodigies" like Oistrakh or Kremer still played better at 10 than most violinist at 25. So I don't know. | ||
