Perlman last played in Colorado in January with the Colorado Symphony. We shared some favorite performances then, including a rendition of Beethoven's "Minuet in G" on Sesame Street. All of the videos showcase his extraordinary expressiveness. In advance of his birthday this weekend, though, I went looking for more examples of Perlman's joy in making music. I found plenty—including a wonderfully Colorado-centric one: a clip from a John Denver television special, "Music and the Mountains," filmed in Aspen.

Click the video above to view it. What a charming example of Perlman's musical approach. His primary goal: to communicate the meaning within the notes. Clearly, it works for music of any stripe, whether you play in concert dress or western wear. As Perlman once told Charlie Rose about 8 minutes into the video to the right : "I like to talk to music.

That's the way I teach. After a while, when you know how to play the instrument, you should forget the instrument. It's now time to talk the music, to talk the phrases. When you hear a phrase that you feel is really meaningful, my God, you cannot just play it. You have to speak it. Listen to The Baroque Show at 10 a.
