  • Cousin of Isaac

  • @egonsky - I heard from Mr. Shtern that when he first met with Isaac Stern over 50 years ago it was suggested that perhaps they were related but from what I can tell this was found not to be so. From whom did you hear it?

  • Have you noticed that Michel Schwalbé (the soloist in Karajan's version) changes a note in the No.4 of the Swan Lake Suite? Instead of ascending to a high E, he plays the string witout fingering, at the beginning of the più mosso section.

  • Unfortunately, I have not heard that. Is it posted on Youtube?

  • thank you so much for posting this...reminds me of a mix between toscha seidel, henryk szeryng and fritz kreisler :)

  • You're welcome! That's a great combination of great violinists and I'm sure Mr. Shtern will be sincerely flattered!
