through the pages of narration, recollections and conversations about
greatest musicians.

Written by Dr. Joyce Geeting, Professor of Music at Cal Lutheran
University, Thousand Oaks, California, and a student of Starker’s,
the book is both a tribute to a great teacher, and a keen
examination of the components of a musical career.

Starker is not the only one to come under scrutiny.  Within the book,
Starker, himself, delivers his judgments in lengthy“conversations his
opinions of other musicians, conductors such as George Szell, Fritz
Reiner, Eugene Ormandy and Antal Dorati, and performers such as
Mstislav Rostropovich, Pablo Casals, Joshua Heifetz and many others.
They are reviewed with sometimes biting language, but always with
some foundation."

powerful." (Carol Worthey)
