Isaac Stern
'One of the world's master fiddle players' - Virgil Thomson. Violinist Isaac Stern died on 22 September 2001 in New York, aged 81. He will be remembered as one of the most recorded classical artists in history, as the helper of a generation of younger musicians (including Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman) and as the man who saved Carnegie Hall in the late 1950s from developers' plans to replace it with an office block.
