Description
Offered here is a rare and historic commemorative tribute volume: Isaac Stern – A Carnegie Hall Tribute, dated January 28, 1997.

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.
