The immaculate violinist Sidney Weiss has died at the age of 95.

After six years with Georg Solti in Chicago, and another six in Monte Carlo, he was hired in 1979 by Carlo-Maria Giulini as concertmaster of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he stayed on under Previn and Salonen until 1994.

He formed a successful duo with his wife, Jeanne Weiss.
