Happy Birthday Pinchas Zukerman
Pinchas Zukerman's first musical love was the recorder. But he was only 4. It turned out to be puppy love. He had to wait another 4 years, until the ripe old age of 8, before he met his true love, the violin. Zukerman has branched out in a few different directions over the years, as a violist and a conductor. But he always comes back to his roots, to the violin. Pinchas Zukerman turns 64 today. We'll hear him, playing a Bach concerto in concert in Portugal.
