"Few cello players currently before the public have enjoyed the
kind of international success in all conceivable musical career
roles as Janos Starker. In his lifetime, Starker has gained renown
as teacher, soloist and orchestra player." -Chicago Tribune
"Starker . . .remains one of the wonders of the musical world, an
artist who finds innumerable ways to shape and color lines."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer "Starker is not just a cellist. He is
widely recognized as one of the finest of the last 50 years."
-Indianapolis Star "Starker emerges here as the rare artist who
respects the past but lives enthusiastically in the present. . .
Essential. All readers; all levels." -Choice Janos Starker is
universally acknowledged as one of the world's great musicians.
Known for a flawless technique paired with expressive playing and
interpretation, the Hungarian-born cellist is arguably also the
premier teacher of his instrument in our time. String players flock
to his masterclasses from all over the world, and cellists compete
vigorously to study under him at the Indiana University School of
Music. More than the consummate musician, however, Starker is also
a raconteur and writer, occasionally quirky and droll, always witty
and with a pointed opinion to share. The World of Music According
to Starker is a colorful autobiography spanning the author's
fascinating life. From his early musical education during World War
II in Hungary, to his world tours, educational philosophy, and
recording and pedagogical legacy, Starker takes the reader on a
riveting, entertaining, and informative journey. Included in the
book are several of Starker's short stories and commentaries on
world events, academia, and-of course-music that have appeared in
newspapers, music periodicals, and trade magazines. Also includes a
bonus CD recording of Starker's last public recital, which is
unavailable commercially and includes his only recording of the
Strauss Sonata in F, Opus 6. Included on the CD: Richard Strauss,
Sonata in F, Opus 6 Ludwig van Beethoven, Sonata in C major, Opus
102 no. 1 Johannes Brahms, Sonata in E minor, Opus 38 Franz
Schubert, Sonatina in D, Opus 137 no. 1 (Starker edition)
