No single American could personify what Henry Luce called the
American Century but Isaac Stern came closer than most. Despite
modest origins as the child of Jewish immigrants in San Francisco,
by the early 1940s talent and practice had brought him a Carnegie
Hall debut, critical acclaim and the attention of the legendary Sol
Hurok. As America came of age, so too did Stern. He would go on to
make music on five continents, records in formats from 78 rpm to
digital, friends as different as Frank Sinatra and Isaiah Berlin,
and policy from Carnegie Hall to Washington, Jerusalem and
Shanghai. He also loaned instruments to young players, brokered
gigs for Soviet emigres and replied in person to inquiring fans.
Wide-ranging yet intimate, The Lives of Isaac Stern is a portrait
of an artist and musical statesman who left a profound musical and
cultural legacy.
