He did not play that piece well. Had I been there I would've stopped but not for long. He is obviously a very good musician but probably just not used to playing on streets. As a result his performance made little impression. Besides, it was quite early in the morning, most people were not in the mood for a violin music.
Inna is correct. Violin in the morning..Pshaw! My perfect morning would be sounds of Glockenspiel along with slight hints of Napalm fragrance in the air. Since that perfect combination will unlikely present itself to me in my lifetime, I would settle for free Joshua Bell in a subway, if I must....
