Married to the Welsh violinist Jane Price since August 1991, he has a nine-month-old daughter, Ella Aneira, and lives in the elegant west Los Angeles district of Brentwood, as well as in London and Stockholm. His personal style runs toward Scandinavian informality; after a concert, he can't wait to shower, change into a sweater and jeans and kick back with a cold beer. He speaks five languages fluently.

His intended message: Don't take Russian democracy for granted...

The first, led by epidemiologists Maria Feychting and Anders Ahlbom of Stockholm's Karolinska Institute, looked at everyone who lived within 300 m (328 yd.) of a high-tension line in Sweden from 1960 to '85. Although the investigators could find no evidence of an increased cancer threat for adults, they did detect a higher risk of leukemia in children. The second study, led by Birgitta Floderus of Sweden's National Institute of Occupational Health, linked on-the-job exposure to electromagnetic fields and leukemia...
