There is a website which lists a lot of violinists - a lot. I won't give you the name because I do not want them to get any more publicity - not from me. They list the violinists according to several categories - Baroque era, Classical era, 19th Century, post 19th Century, etc. Under post 19th Century, they have other subcategories - "great artists" and "other notable violinists." Under the "great artists" heading they list about five or six which I would never call great artists. Under "other notables" they list at least two which belong in the "great artists" ranks - Ivry Gitlis and Leila Josefowicz. Who put this list together anyway? Ivry Gitlis is the greatest among the great and Josefowicz is not far behind. That site is ridiculous. I might file a complaint with the FCC!!!
