Teo Gertler Teenage Violinist

By Tom Armstrong on

Mrs A insisted that I did a short piece on this young man, who she says is going to be up there with all-time greats like Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Even I, not really a classical music fan, can recognise the talent and virtuosity on display in this video, in which he reduces Placido Domingo to tears.

Teo Gertler

Teo started playing at the age of three and a half, and today, aged 16, he has won major international music competitions. A prodigy indeed.

I don’t have the knowledge to say much more so will turn you over to Yoube and a video in which Teo tells you about himself.

If anyone with a good grasp of classical music and the violin, please write a piece on the young man and his music for us.
