Extractions: Isaac Stern was more than just a violinist. A glib speaker of uncommon personal force, he organized a group to save Carnegie Hall from demolition in 1961, later serving as president of the Carnegie Hall corporation and chairman of the board of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, as well as helping to establish the National Endowment for the Arts. He died Sept. 22. In his earlier years, Stern's natural bravado conquered his inveterate reluctance to practice the violin and his self-avowed appetites for making merry. Some informed listeners consider his 1952 recording of the Schubert Quintet in C (Sony Classics 58992 ), in the company of cellists Pablo Casals and Paul Tortelier, to be one of the supreme chamber-music recordings. Other early concerto recordings (reissued on Sony SM3K 45952 and Sony SM3K 45956) also contain forceful playing with lots of personality and verve. In the past 20 years or so, with a decayed technique, Stern could sometimes seem assertive and strident-sounding. As one punning critic expressed it: "He left no tone un-Sterned." Teaching and mentoring His staunch support of some younger string players, from fiddlers Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman to cellist Yo-Yo Ma, inevitably caused grumbling among musicians he did not wish to play with.

Extractions: When I was in college my violin professor spoke of Isaac Stern. He consider what Stern did was the best. He liked his style and technique, and he liked his sound and he liked his musicality. Time passed..............and I became a violin teacher. I bought the usual CD's of the many present day artists and also the greats of the past and enjoyed them. By this time Isaac Stern was not giving as many violin solo performances but was involved in other aspects of the violin music world. I was never fortunate enough to see and hear him in person, and after listening to these CD's, I have recommended his CD's as a very good listening experince for any student studying one of the solos he has recorded. He plays what I would term some of the most "honest" musical translations. I have great respect for Isaac Stern. I am reading his book Isaac Stern - My First 79 Years . He became a fine concert artist through a lot of hard work and he has continued to serve the music world. I think back to my college years and Professor Andrew Lisko speaking about Isaac Stern, and I think I have many years later rediscovered the magic in Stern's playing that my violin professor loved. I dedicate this page to Professor Andrew Lisko of Capital University. Isaac Stern was born in Kreminiecz, Ukraine July 21, 1920. Isaac came to the United States when he was 10 months old becuase his parents fled the 1921 Russian Revolution. He grew up in San Francisco and studied violin with Naoum Blinder. When he was 14 he played the Brahms Violin Concerto with the San Francisco Symphony. His Carnegie Hall debut was in 1944 with the New York Philharmonic, he was 22 years old. He is Artist Laureate artist with

Extractions: printer-friendly version September 28, 2001 Isaac Stern's inspiration Life goes on in the post-9-11 world. So, alas, does death. This weekend, world-renowned violinist Isaac Stern left us after 81 blessed years. He died of heart failure. What a huge, roaring heart it was. As we continue to mourn and tremble and rage in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on America, we can draw inspiration from the legacy of Isaac Stern. He wasn't just a virtuoso musician who touched millions of souls with his talent and passion. He wasn't just a cultural champion who spread the joy of music on "Sesame Street" and saved New York City's Carnegie Hall from destruction. He wasn't just a ubiquitous mentor who nurtured generations of musicians including violinists Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zuckerman, conductor Zubin Mehta, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
