- <p> Rivals? Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman? Nah. Two of
- the world's greatest violinists, these virtuosos are perfectly
- in tune with each other, as can be heard on their latest joint
- venture, a recording of a pair of Mozart duets and a Leclair
- sonata for two violins, due in October. "Doing this is like
- breathing," says Perlman, who met Zukerman some 30 years ago in
- Israel. "We know each other's style. We talk to each other
- through music." Still, it's Perlman who plays lead violin on the
- new recording. "I have a slightly darker sound, so I always play
- the bottom," explains Zukerman. "But playing second fiddle is
- nothing to be ashamed of."
