Michael David Davis

Long after ......but happy memories of Michael in England when we were friends in the early 50s at Manchester Grammar School, conspiring against the likes of Simmie and Artie, learning Greek and Latin, and, Winter and Summer shunning school dinners for Sivori´s large fourpenny ice-creams in Birchfields Park. A generous boy, a self-effacing musical prodigy, he was always ( it seemed) under-valued, I lost contact and was sorry to read news of his passing. Last saw him performing at The Wigmore...

Michael Davis was a great violinist and excelled as a
Teacher's Teacher. All of his students excelled in playing
music all the while retaining
their individuality. His recitals
were inspirational. Master Classes were events for both the performer and the listener
to witness how this genius could eliminate the obstacles
marring the presentation of
each piece. It was magical.
Michael Davis will always be
remembered as a superb

Peter, my current violin teacher was a student of Michael Davis at OSU. I know he was deeply saddened at his death. He played a CD of Michael's violin playing which was simply beautiful. The warmth of his playing was unforgettable. I am sorry he is gone.

Michael was my violin teacher from 1987 through 1992. He was always wonderfully patient and able to teach the nuances of technique that make the violin sing the spectrum of life's ups and downs. My deepest sympathies to Michael's loved ones.

Dear Nelson,

We were so sorry to learn of Michaels' passing. You and Michael were dear neighbors of our mohter, Nunnie, and Michael will certainly be missed. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Our friend and musical collaborator will be greatly missed, but our memories of great musical moments will be treasured.

Such a shock, and such a loss to us all.
I will miss my colleague, my friend.
