    Every time I've seen him here in Seattle, he's walked out on the
    stage under his own power, awkwardly of course, given the crutches
    and, I think, leg braces he has to wear. But no curtains on our
    concert stage, so he walks out graciously and elegantly, in spite of
    the awkard gait. The guy has a presence and positive energy that just
    seems to totally overcome any slight impression given by the physical
    limitations. And then those enormous hands take hold of that
    delicate violin. I've no idea how fingers that large find those
    strings individually, but he does. When the music starts, he
    positively glows. And music happens like with few other performers.
