...might lurk within his own self. But these demons are never really unleashed; instead, the two friends are shown working and playing together as squash partners and stylistic opposites. When we are introduced through Stephane's eyes to Maxim's new lover and client Camille (Emanuelle Beart), a young violinist, we are meant, perhaps, to be scathed by her beauty. After all, she automatically enchants every- one (male and female) in the film before shehas even picked up her instrument. Of course, onceshe does that, she has them all doubly transfixedand smoking with renewed aesthetic ferocity...
Stephane (Daniel Auteuil) and Maxime (Andre Dussollier) are partners in a violin repair business. Maxime, a man of affairs, is now involved with the accomplished young violinist Camille (Emmanuelle Beart). "It's a new experience," he notes, "admiring someone I love." Stephane is Maxime's opposite: he has a stillness that consoles men and attracts women.

In Alban Berg's ineffable 1935 two-movement concerto, a requiem for the daughter of Alma Mahler Gropius, Mutter evokes the music's intense, passionate suffering. In Wolfgang Rihm's gorgeous Time Chant, written for her last year, Mutter's splendid fiddle soars ethereally over the Chicago Symphony led by James...
...reluctant celebrity, however, more at home in musico-philosophical discussion than in talking about his personal life. 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. These days he uses mostly English and Swedish; it is his Finnish...
