Among musicians, cellists are known as incurable sentimentalists. This quality is half-humorously assumed, partly because of the tightlipped, tear-laden whine the instrument so easily develops in its upper register, partly because of the overenthusiastic use of that register by romantic composers. One cellist who does not deserve the description is the Chicago Symphony's Budapest-born Janos Starker, 31, who is unsentimentally aware that he is one of the world's finest cellists...

The league has been taking a hard look at the music business and in the process, it has uncovered a mass of hitherto uncharted specifics. Item: community orchestras lose about 35% of their subscribers a year, hence...

It is a pleasure to have a local group with the ambition and the prowess of the Bach Society...

Its effects, such as a too close imitation in the adagio, do not show the later Beethoven's sense of pace. This trio was handsomely and forcefully played by violinist David Hurwitz, cellist Walter Wheeler, and pianist Landon Young. They provided fine musicianship in a concert otherwise interesting only for its instrumental novelty...
