Editorial Reviews All recordings have been digitally remastered with great care to preserve the sound quality inherent in the analog tape masters while improving listenability. Jascha Silberstein Soon thereafter, a record by the great Gregor Piatigorsky so impressed the youngster that he demanded lessons on the 'cello. A virtuoso talent emerged, and the boy went on to study with 'cellist Hans Lofer (aka Rudolf Hindemith) and, later, with the renowned Czech violinist Vasa Prihoda-both formidable interpreters of Romantic music. Following worldwide tours and orchestral experience in Munich and Nurnberg, he moved to the U.S. in 1962 to teach at the University of Texas. He played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra before joining the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra as principal solo 'cellist-a position he held from 1966 until his retirement in 1996. Mr. Silberstein has recorded albums for London Records and the Musical Heritage Society. He performs on a 1720 Goffriller 'cello, an instrument formerly owned by both Emanuel Feuermann and Joseph Schuster. Award-winning composer/arranger/producer/conductor, Claus Ogermann, recently wrote about Jascha Silberstein: "It is high time our planet again hears great 'cello playing on the level of Emanuel Feuermann. Like Feuermann, Elman, Kreisler, and Heifetz, Silberstein is one in a century. Also excellent are the digital mastering and transfer to CD." This CD (Volume 4)
