While the Haydn concerto has seen\nlimited LP release by the Japanese Stokowski Society, the remaining\nbroadcasts are believed to be published here for the first time.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIsaac Stern was born in Kremenets, Ukraine on 21 July 1920, and moved to\nSan Francisco with his parents when he was 14 months old. His first music\nlessons were given by his mother; and by the time he was eight, he began to\nreceive formal instruction at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn 1931, he followed such other local rising violin talents such as Yehudi\nMenuhin and Ruggiero Ricci by studying with former San Francisco Symphony\nconcertmaster, Louis Persinger, and continued at the Conservatory under\nPersinger’s successor at the orchestra, Naoum Blinder. Stern made his debut\nwith the SFSO under Pierre Monteux at the age of 15 in 1936, but considered\nhis first appearance at Carnegie Hall in 1943 to be the true start of his\ninternational career.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nMonteux features on the earliest performance presented here, the\nMendelssohn Concerto. This was part of a series of hour-long CBS broadcasts\nof the Philadelphia Orchestra given on Saturday evenings in an empty\nAcademy of Music two hours before the regular concerts were to begin, which\nexplains the lack of applause at the end.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nSome difficulties Stern experiences toward the beginning might be chalked\nup to a change in program. The concert that evening was to feature the\nBeethoven Concerto; so the Mendelssohn, which was probably substituted on\nthe broadcast in order for other repertoire to be included, may have had\nlittle or no rehearsal time. Stern handles a broken string at the start of\nthe first movement cadenza with cool professionalism, taking up the\nconcertmaster’s instrument and going on to conclude the performance with\ngreat aplomb.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nEarly in his career, Stern was a particular champion of the lesser-known\nHaydn Concerto, recording it for American Columbia in 1947 with himself\nconducting. For the New York Philharmonic broadcast two years later, he had\nno less than Leopold Stokowski at the podium. The maestro delivers an\nunmannered, energetic accompaniment; and the tubercular audience suspends\nits coughing long enough to applaud Stern’s rapturous reading of the second\nmovement. The cadenzas were written by Stern’s longtime accompanist,\nAlexander Zakin, who plays the harpsichord continuo here.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe final broadcast features Serge Koussevitkzy at the podium of the\nHollywood Bowl a year after he had ceded the Boston Symphony to Charles\nMunch, and a year before his death. A seasoned expert in the Russian\nRomantic repertoire in whose milieu he had grown up, Koussevitkzy delivers\na solid accompaniment to Stern which culminates in a particularly fiery\nfinale. The conductor himself can be heard saying “Bravo!” to Stern at the\nend, as the string players of the orchestra tap their bows in enthusiastic\napproval.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nIsaac Stern died of heart failure on September 22, 2001 after an extended\nstay in a New York City hospital.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMark Obert-Thorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_thumbnail2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_cover_download_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample1_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample2_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample3_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample4_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample5_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab1_sample6_s3_locationfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_labelfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5fFull Track Listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_typefb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5ftrack_listing578a9379d1e540bd96d26f03a79628d9tab2_contentfb55cd020f0643f08418183279e63a5f\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHAYDN: Violin Concerto No. 1 in C major, Hob.
