...personality at Marlboro despite the musical giants on the premises. Pianist Rudolf Serkin, who has also been playing at Tanglewood this season, is artistic director of the chamber music workshop. Pablo Casals is conducting master classes on the Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites and Gamba Sonatas and public performances of Mendelssohn's Fourth Symphony (the "Italian" Symphony) and Beethoven's Eighth Symphony...

A recording of the Nov. 13, 1961 White House concert that honored Pablo Casals. The performance, as expected, was worthy of the occasion. Casals' uncanny control, and the unfaltering warmth of his tone, will be the envy of cellists one-half the master's 85 years...
