This recording also marks a departure for Feltsman. When he arrived in the U.S. in 1987, everything was handed to him on a silver platter: hailed as a "hero of the human spirit" by Ronald Reagan, he was offered debut performances at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center, a busy concert schedule, an $80,000-a-year teaching job at the State University of New York at New Paltz and a recording contract with Sony Classical.

Theorists have already deduced that the top quark is heavier than any known particle. "A single top quark," exclaims Fermilab physicist Alvin Tollestrup, "probably weighs at least as much as a whole silver atom does." (With an atomic weight of 108, a silver atom is made up of hundreds of up and down quarks.)
