I didn't know this until know. I never knew him but the knowledge of him leaving gave me chills, and the knowledge of his being alive was some kind of comfort. With his passing, I think, goes an entire generation of violinists. Goodbye, Maestro Shtern.
A fine example in life about not giving in to destructive forces - (the coughing) (even though it got to him for a while around 5.30) - but to continue the pursuit of excellence and beauty regardless!
@TheOberon8 who could play it better than hassid? this is still beautiul. he plays with the soul of a poet. excellent of you to point out hassid. what a sorrowful story that is
Yes, a very fine performance marred by a super cough fest! Was this performed hall or in a tb ward? Well, the last time I performed this piece my best friend's cell phone went off. Unable to shut it, he marched out of the hall, making even more noise!
Yeah, he is technically better than some of those 18 year old prodigies.... In plus, this piece isn't exactly one to show or prove amazing technical abilities.
I wished people that coughed would have enough sense and decency to leave while the concert is in progress instead of continuing (and with some chat) that spoils it for everyone else. No manners have they.
I agree; the coughing is a little much. I mean, I guess whoever it is can't help it...but when such a talented artist is performing...what if he was really sensitive to noise?!? The concert could have been ruined!
What a masterful interpretation.
The greatest violinist in the world! I'm proud to be the student of him in the Kiev conservatory! Miss you and love you Abram Hanaanovich
R.I.P. Abram Shtern, z"l (March 19,1919 - April 5, 2014). May his memory be blessed.

until now*
Going to a live classical concert elicits the irrepressible desire to cough. A musical phenomenon.
Anyway, beautiful performance!
I would let my lungs fill with blood before I would cough during an Abram Shtern performance.
Wow! What a remarkable story he tells...! THAT means music-making!

Abrahm Shtern, sadly, passed away early this morning.
This music comes near to God!!!!!
I agree.

i agree too

I think that this piece should be totally reserved for Josef Hassid. No one could play it like him.
Why do people always have to start coughing during a performance?!
@daveboy44 sad but true

He's making half of it up in the fast passages. ....and rather plodding all round. A bit of a mess
His version is better for me
