 Perlman,
Itzhak (1945- ), Israeli-American violinist, whose brilliant technique
and musicianship caused his mentor, Isaac Stern, to judge his talent
"utterly limitless." A child prodigy, Perlman came to New York at
the age of 13 and studied with the influential American teacher Ivan
Galamian. Perlman tours and records extensively, frequently appearing
in concert with the Israeli-American violinist Pinchas Zukerman. Crippled
by polio when he was four, Perlman is a strong proponent of equal
rights for the disabled.
