The youngest in the family of six siblings, Kim, a student of renowned violin teacher Ivan Galamian at the Curtis Institute of Music, an accomplished musician whose upcoming concert with maestro Michael Tilson Thomas the host announces several times throughout the broadcast, and the owner of a precious Stradivari violin, explores the merits and qualities of the two most valuable violins: Stradivari and Guarneri (he played it before switching to Strad). Terkel and Kim also dwell on the difficulty of acquiring either of these instruments as they present a highly desirable article for collectors and express their disappointment at the damage violins sustain while idling. The program includes 2 recordings of the 3rd movement from violin concerto in E minor by Mendelssohn and violin concerto no. 1 in G minor by Bruch performed by Kim with the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.
