  8. Gil Shaham is drawn to works from the 1930s

    Unless you happen to be David Letterman, little of value tends to come from making top 10 lists. But violinist Gil Shaham has lately turned this common time-waster into something of a consuming passion, and music lovers are the beneficiaries.

  10. Kiri Te Kanawa emerges with a song in her heart

    In her four decades of performing on the international stage, Kiri Te Kanawa has appeared to live a fairy-tale existence. Adopted as an infant, Te Kanawa enjoyed a modest New Zealand youth until the age of 19 when she placed second in that country's most important singing contest: the Mobil Song Quest. Suddenly she was a popular recording star, recording the small country's first gold album. At 21, she took first prize in the Mobil contest, which earned her a scholarship to study at the London Opera Centre. A year later she was married and in 1971, at the age of 26, Te Kanawa made her celebrated debut as the Countess in Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" in London and Santa Fe.

  11. (Violin) string theory at the Bowl

It signaled the start of what amounts to a crash course in the history of the 19th century violin concerto at the Hollywood Bowl (with a 20th century American classic thrown in).
