Itzhak Perlman (Hebrew: יצחק פרלמן; born August 31, 1945) is an Israeli-American violinist, conductor, and pedagogue. Over the course of his career, Perlman has performed worldwide, and throughout the United States, in venues that have included a State Dinner at the White House honoring Queen Elizabeth II, and a Presidential Inauguration, and he has conducted the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the Westchester Philharmonic.
In 2015, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Perlman was born in Tel Aviv in 1945, then British Mandate of Palestine, now Israel. His parents, Chaim and Shoshana Perlman, were natives of Poland and had independently immigrated to Palestine in the mid-1930s before they met and later married.
Perlman first became interested in the violin after hearing a classical music performance on the radio. At the age of three, he was denied admission to the Shulamit Conservatory for being too small to hold a violin. He instead taught himself how to play the instrument using a toy fiddle until he was old enough to study with Rivka Goldgart at the Shulamit Conservatory and at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv, where he gave his first recital at age 10, before moving to the United States to study at the Juilliard School with the violin pedagogue Ivan Galamian and his assistant Dorothy DeLay.
Carlos Gardel (born Charles Romuald Gardes; 11 December 1890 – 24 June 1935) was a French Argentine singer, songwriter, composer and actor, and the most prominent figure in the history of tango. Gardel's baritone voice and the dramatic phrasing of his lyrics made miniature masterpieces of his hundreds of three-minute tango recordings. Together with lyricist and long-time collaborator Alfredo Le Pera, Gardel wrote several classic tangos.
Gardel died in an airplane crash at the height of his career, becoming an archetypal tragic hero mourned throughout Latin America. For many, Gardel embodies the soul of the tango style. He is commonly referred to as "Carlitos", "El Zorzal" (The [Song] Thrush), "The King of Tango", "El Mago" (The Wizard), "El Morocho del Abasto" (The Brunette boy from Abasto), and ironically "El Mudo" (The Mute).
Gardel was born to unmarried 25-year-old laundress Berthe Gardes, the baby registered under the name Charles Romuald Gardes in Toulouse, France, on 11 December 1890. The father of the baby boy was listed on his birth certificate as "unknown"; eleven days later Berthe Gardes signed a statement establishing the baby's father as Paul Laserre, a married man who left Toulouse a few months before the baby was born. Berthe Gardes left Toulouse a few years later, likely to escape the social stigma of having a child born out of wedlock. In early 1893 in Bordeaux, France, mother and son boarded the ship SS Don Pedro and sailed to Buenos Aires, arriving on 11 March 1893. Berthe Gardes had her passport recorded; she told immigration authorities that she was a widow. The two-year-old boy was recorded as Charles Gardes.
Carlos Gardel is a station on Line B of the Buenos Aires Underground.
The station is located in the Balvanera barrio, at the intersection of Avenida Corrientes and Calle Agüero.
Carlos Gardel station runs under the Abasto de Buenos Aires, one of Buenos Aires' most prominent landmarks. There is an underground connection that makes it possible to access the shopping centre from the subway station without going outside to street level.
Although initially when this station was first opened in 1930 it was named Agüero after the road it crosses, it was later renamed Carlos Gardel, after the famous tango singer.

John Towner Williams (born February 8, 1932) is an American composer, conductor, and pianist. In a career spanning over six decades, Williams has composed some of the most popular and recognizable film scores in cinematic history, including Jaws, the Star Wars series, Superman, the Indiana Jones series, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and the first three Harry Potter films. He has been associated with director Steven Spielberg since 1974, composing music for all save five of Spielberg's feature films.
Other notable works by Williams include theme music for four Olympic Games, NBC Sunday Night Football, the 2011 Tintin movie, the television series Lost in Space and Land of the Giants, and the original, not-as-well-known, calypso-based theme song to Gilligan's Island. He has composed numerous classical concerti and other works for orchestral ensembles and solo instruments, and he served as the Boston Pops' principal conductor (1980–93), and is now the orchestra's laureate conductor.
John Williams VC (born John Fielding 24 May 1857 – 25 November 1932), was a Welsh recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
John Fielding was the second eldest of ten children. John's parents were Michael and Margaret Godsil, who married in Abergavenny, Wales in 1855. Both Michael and Margaret were from Cork, Ireland. Michael Fielding died at the age of 82 and is buried in the Cwmbran cemetery. John was born at Merthyr Road, Abergavenny. The entire family were Catholic. John was 5 feet 8 inches (1.72m) tall. Born Fielding, he enlisted under the name of Williams in the Monmouthshire Militia in 1877.
He was 21 years old, and a private in the 2nd Battalion, 24th Regiment of Foot (later The South Wales Borderers), British Army during the Anglo-Zulu War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. It is known neither why he chose to join the army, nor why he enlisted in a name other than his own. (It may possibly have been to avoid being traced after running away from home).
John Williams (10 December 1664 – 12 June 1729) was a New England Puritan minister who became famous for The Redeemed Captive, his account of his captivity by the Mohawk after the Deerfield Massacre during Queen Anne's War. He was an uncle of the notable pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards.
His first wife Eunice Mather was a niece of Rev Increase Mather and a cousin of Rev. Cotton Mather and was related to Rev. John Cotton.
John Williams was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1664. Son of Samuel Williams (1632–98) and Theoda Park (1637–1718). His grandfather Robert had immigrated there from England about 1638. John had local schooling. Later he attended Harvard College, where he graduated in 1683.
Williams was ordained to the ministry in 1688, and settled as the first pastor in Deerfield. The frontier town in western Massachusetts was vulnerable to the attacks of the Native Americans and their French allies from Canada. The local Pocumtuc resisted the colonists' encroachment on their hunting grounds and agricultural land. In the early 18th century, French and English national competition resulted in frequent raids between New England and Canada, with each colonial power allying with various Native American tribes to enlarge their fighting forces.

Canta Carlos Gardel. Si arrastré por este mundo la vergüenza de haber sido y el dolor de ya no ser. Bajo el ala del sombrero cuantas veces, embozada, una lágrima asomada yo no pude contener... Si crucé por los caminos como un paria que el destino se empeñó en deshacer; si fui flojo, si fui ciego, sólo quiero que hoy comprendan el valor que representa el coraje de querer. Era, para mí, la vida entera, como un sol de primavera, mi esperanza y mi pasión. Sabía que en el mundo no cabía toda la humilde alegría de mi pobre corazón. Ahora, cuesta abajo en mi rodada, las ilusiones pasadas yo no las puedo arrancar. Sueño con el pasado que añoro, el tiempo viejo que lloro y que nunca volverá. Por seguir tras de su huella yo bebí incansablemente en mi copa de dolor,...

Carlos Gardel fue un famoso cantante, compositor y actor argentino de origen incierto, nacido en 1890 o posiblemente en 1887 en Toulouse, Francia o Tacuarembó, Uruguay. Se destacó como el mejor intérprete de tango en la historia del género. Su infancia estuvo marcada por la adversidad, creciendo en los suburbios de Buenos Aires. Desde joven, buscó la riqueza y la fama, desarrollando su distintiva voz y estilo artístico. Gardel contribuyó a popularizar el tango con letras, transformándolo en una música nostálgica y emotiva. Formó un dúo con José Razzano en 1915, logrando una gran fama en 1917 en Buenos Aires. Sin embargo, en 1925, Gardel continuó su carrera en solitario, ganando reconocimiento internacional en París y España. Su voz y encanto lo convirtieron en un ídolo, especialmente ent...

FLOR DEL VALLE (TANGO CANCION)
Letra de Guillermo Desiderio Barbieri
Musica de Luis Gaspar Pierotti
Intérprete: Carlos Gardel ('Vida y obra'),
cassette ODEON-EMI 44368/70, vol. 17).
Fecha de grabación: 28-9-1931.
Nació tu belleza con la primavera,
bajo las estrellas, cual linda flor,
y fuiste la reina de aquella pradera
donde nos juramos un eterno amor.
Todos contemplaban tus bellos colores,
todos te buscaron con loca pasión,
y a todos brindaste placeres y amores
bajo las ardientes caricias del sol.
Flor del Valle te llamaron,
criatura angelical.
Flor del Valle, te adoraron,
por tu gracia sin igual...
Y en tus pétalos dlvinos
como una lágrima está
mi corazón encendido,
que es una estrella inmortal.
Pero ya muy pronto tus hermosas galas
perdieron su encanto, su brillo y color,
pajarito ciego que encendió sus alas
en la noche oscura de su gran dolor.
Y la Flor del Valle, que todos besaron,
marchita y enferma nadie la adoró...
Cenicienta criolla que la abandonaron...
Y la Flor del Valle... de pena murió.
Flor del Valle te llamaron.., etcétera.
