(Amadeus). Violinist and educator Efrem Zimbalist (1890-1985) led a
legendary life in music in an age of violin legends. Of the
dazzling stars to emerge from the Russian School at the beginning
of the 20th century, Zimbalist earned a special place. David
Oistrakh compared him to Heifetz: "While Heifetz conquered by sheer
brilliance, Zimbalist captivated people by appealing to profound
mysteries of heart and soul." Zimbalist was also one of the
century's great teachers, for 40 years devoting himself to the
renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, serving as its
director from 1941 to 1968. His was a remarkable journey,
fortunately recounted in hundreds of hours of taped interviews with
author and Curtis Institute student Roy Malan, longtime
concertmaster of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra. Malan then
waited nearly a decade after Zimbalist's death before seeking
publication, so that the story could be told in its entirety. This
definitive biography of the world's first globe-trotting virtuoso
also includes a discography and a list of Zimbalist's students.
