Description
Offered here is a rare and historic commemorative tribute volume: Isaac Stern – A Carnegie Hall Tribute, dated January 28, 1997. This hardcover edition was produced in limited numbers to honor the legendary violinist and humanitarian, Isaac Stern, whose efforts famously saved Carnegie Hall from demolition in 1960.
This elegant book includes a mounted audio CD on the inside back cover-featuring recordings from the tribute event or related performances-making it a complete multimedia celebration of Stern’s legacy.
