After reading Midori's Encore and Joshua Bell's-Kreisler Album reviews I was confused as to what to buy really in the end I purchased both CDs and I have no regret.
In contrast, Midori employs extensive use of rubato and varying bow strokes and varying vibrato speeds to bring out a whole new dimension in the praeludium.

Violinist Midori Goto was only 14 when, in 1986, she played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of the late maestro Leonard Bernstein at the annual Summer Festival at Tanglewood in rural Massachusetts.

Perhaps foremost among these is Midori and Friends, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization she founded in 1992 to offer children a comprehensive musical education, including workshops and concerts to children, both to foster their artistic skills and nurture their whole character.
