Help My first encounter with Jascha Heifetz must have come when I was about three years old. In Israel in the late 1940s there was a lot of classical music on the radio and I recall that they played a lot of his recordings. Later I realised that everything in the history of violin playing could be divided into BH and AH: Before Heifetz and After Heifetz. I first met him when I was a nervous 14-year-old. He'd come to the Juilliard School, New York to hear some of the violin pupils. I played him the Lalo Symphonie Espanol and a Paganini Caprice and then my teacher, Ivan Galamian, said I could go. But Heifetz said, "Not so fast! I want to hear scales." Thankfully, my previous teacher in Israel had placed great importance on exercises, and I was well prepared - so when Heifetz told me the scale he wanted to hear, I could play it straight off. So our friendship started on the right foot.

Extractions: T Bone Burnett - "T Bone Burnett" The Color, Smell, Sound, and Feel of His Culture America before World War II was not an easy place for an African American artist. Especially an artist of the high stature of Duke Ellington, arguably one of the 20th century's greatest composers. Before the ground swell of changes that grew out of the workers rights movements of the depression caught fire as a reaction to the segregation of our wartime armed forces, and culminated in the universal civil rights won on the streets and in the voting booths of the '60s, black musicians were marginalized and trivialized in our culture. Mainstream composers appropriated their musical innovations and fed a watered-down version to the public, while, for the most part, the originators toiled in scruffy obscurity. It is a testament to the resilience of men like Duke Ellington, and the depth and soul, support, and love of their own community, that they were able to create an incredibly beautiful, swinging, coherent body of work in the face of such challenges. The music on this three-CD set runs the gamut from bluesy moods, swing things, Latin confabulations, personality portraits, to classically influenced tone poems. All the range of human emotion, joy, and sorrow, expansive community, and alienated melancholy is in this music, forged in the fire of an outsider's mind's eye. Though he was lionized as a great American composer in his later years, Ellington never cut his emotional tie to the outsiders, the oppressed, the hopeful, the joyous, the rambunctious, and thoughtful - his beautiful people.

"And (founder-music director) Ami Porat is a true musician: I feel an instant rapport with him and I am very comfortable."
Extractions: At 70, Aaron Rosand is busier than ever. But if his reluctance to conform has affected his career, he doesn't care, he tells Dennis Rooney. (Reprinted with Permission from Strad Magazine, November 1997 'I've always been something of a rebel,' Aaron Rosand says to me as he recalls the near half-century since his debut in New York's Town Hall. 'I never thought of music as a business, living in a fantasy world where music is concerned. I was always very proud and if I couldn't do it on my own I didn't want to do it. I do have a certain intolerance for incompetence, preferring to live in my own ivory tower rather than be nice to people who are not worth the effort,' he continues, 'I haven't played the social game or attempted to ingratiate myself with people in power. Some might say this has cost me, but I don't think so. I live very well, and those who appreciate what I have to say and do make my career gratifying.' Cicadas provide a shrill counterpoint to our conversation on a mild August afternoon as we sit on a shady patio at the rear of Rosand's Connecticut home, where he lives with his wife, Monica Woo, in a rambling yet cosy house that is filled with mementos, each one possessing a unique resonance of the people, places and events that fill a lifetime. Rosand, with a small goatee and a slim, athletic figure, wears his 70 years lightly; the refinement of his person is matched by his renowned elegance as a performer. However, despite a reputation among both his colleagues and his connoisseurs as one of the peerless violinists of his generation, Rosand has never achieved wide public acclaim. For many years, his appearances before U.S. audiences were often infrequent, his reputation in his homeland to a large extent secured by a distinguished series of recordings.

Listen for yourself by clicking on the "real" icon above, read the reviews below, or click here for a complete track listing. *NEW* The Yorkshire Post, February 15, 2000 : Removing generations of performing traditions, Aaron Rosand has restored to those two famous concertos their brilliant and luminescent colours. The septuagenarian virtuoso violinist, adored in the U.S., has never enjoyed the media hype that brings success in this country. Yet he is among the elite of musicians, his magnificent technique enabling to perform the outer movements of both concertos with thrilling urgency. . . The Daily Telegraph Says : "...I unwrapped a new recording of the Beethoven concerto and set it spinning on the player without bothering to register the soloist's name. The first entry gripped my ear like a never-to-be-forgotten maths teacher and would not let go until the correct answer was given. The soloist was clearly a top-flighter - not supersmooth Mutter, naff Nigel, elder-statesman Isaac nor any of the Asian indistinguishables. The voice was coherent, urgent, individual. "It belonged to Aaron Rosand, a name that may tax the memory of the most assiduous concert-goers. Once a Carnegie Hall perennial and now a distinguished teacher at the Curtis Institute, Rosand at 72 plays the cornerstone concerto with more eloquence than nine out of 10 soloists you will hear all year. . .

Extractions: Now that Cho-Liang Lin, one of the supreme violinists of our time and the director of two acclaimed music festivals, has reached the age of 41, it may be a good time to stop calling him Jimmy. The splendid Taiwan-born virtuoso, renowned for his soulful expression of emotion in classic, romantic, and modern music, acquired his nicknameused universally in the music worldduring his student days at Juilliard, where he worked with Dorothy DeLay. An upbeat, energetic, and handsome man in his prime, Lin talks freely about his life and career. "When I started in my early 20s," he says, "I insisted that everyone call me Cho-Liang, but Americans gravitate to whats easier, and so my schoolmates and teacher called me Jimmy. Finally, I gave up." Back in the 1980s, Asian names were not as common on American concert posters as they are today, and referring to his longtime pal Yo-Yo Ma, Lin adds, "My parents didnt give me an easy name like Yo-Yo. By the way, Yo means friend, Yo-Yo means friendly, and Yo-Yo Ma therefore means friendly horse." Lin was born in 1960 in Hsin-Chu, a quiet college town 60 miles south of Taipei, a research center where his father worked as a nuclear physicist. The city has since grown into the Silicon Valley of Taiwan, but in the 60s it was still a quiet place. Lins brainy father, Kuo-Chin Lin, who played the traditional Chinese stringed instrument the
