…and he recorded the Vemeulen sonata! I’ve had that album and enjoyed it for over 20 years. Respect, and rest in peace.
This is a name one encounters, as teacher, in the bios of a number of very well-equipped symphony violinists. The recording of the sonata displays vivid and committed playing by both artists. It is the first time I ever actually heard examples of his playing.
May the memory of him be eternal ! My condolences to his family and his current and former students.
We lost last month Emanuel Borok , the retired Concertmaster of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and a former Associate Concertmaster of the Boston Symphony. I am his former student that have known him for 30 years. I know how painful is for the former students of Mr. Walta.
