He studied conducting with Herbert von Karajan and Pierre Monteux. During the 1940s, Olefsky performed as principal cellist of the Philadelphia Orchestra while maintaining a worldwide career as a soloist. In 1948 he was a winner of the Naumburg Competition in New York City. In 1950, he performed the world premiere of the Cello Concerto by Virgil Thomson. Olefsky left his position in Philadelphia in 1950 to join the United States Navy. In 1953, during his Navy service, he won the Michaels Memorial Award competition in Chicago. After completing his naval service, Olefsky was offered the position of first cellist in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, where he spent six years, though he continued to perform as a soloist. He joined the faculty of the University of Iowa but left after just 18 months to extend his solo engagements: he gave the first US performances of works by Kodály, Lutoslawski, Henze and Ginastera. In succession, Olefsky taught at the Peabody Institute (1963–68) and Hartt School (1968–74) before joining the University of Texas at Austin in 1974. He remained there for the rest of his career, where his students included Louis Lowenstein, John Sant’Ambrogio, Carolyn Hopkins, Stephen Gates and Hai Zheng. He later earned the title of emeritus professor at the Butler School of Music. Another former student, Gregory McCoy, established the Paul Olefsky Cello Scholarship at the Butler School. In 1987 Olefsky organized the first Feuermann International Cello Competition at U.T.-Austin. "Although I had enormous respect for Piatigorsky, it was Emanuel Feuermann who was my idol," he said in 1989. "His mystique has haunted me all my life. I never forget his maxim: 'the complete cellist must be a perfect blend of head, heart and fingers.' I had only one lesson with Feuermann but its shattering impact is always with me." Commenting on teaching cello, Olefsky said: "A true pedagogue should strive for quality teaching with fewer pupils. There are only so many hours in a day, and...a [teacher]...should resist the temptation of over-extending himself whether it be for money or reputation engagement. It is the obligation of the teacher to make the student independent of the teacher as soon as possible." From 1990 to 1992, Olefsky and Houle were colleagues at U.T.-Austin and performed in concert on numerous occasions. During that time, they presented, in conjunction with their students, the complete cello/keyboard works of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms in two consecutive semesters (each person performing one or more movements in recital). Olefsky was married to renowned cellist Hai Zheng ((http•••) and had a daughter and a son. He died in 2013 in Austin, Texas, at the age of 87. • More on Olefsky: (http•••)

The theme itself, however, is an original invention by Tchaikovsky himself rather than an excerpt from the past. Composed for German cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, the piece was not performed in its original form for many years after its initial composition, as Fitzenhagen had insisted on making changes to the structure and virtuosic cadenzas for its first performance, against Tchaikovsky’s wishes. Both versions are included on this release, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the struggle between Tchaikovsky’s Classical vision and Fitzenhagen’s desire for the cello to shine. The composer’s love for Mozart also comes to the fore in the Nocturne Op.19 No.4, one of six pieces initially composed for piano that showcases the lyrical melodies and clear structure Tchaikovsky strived to create. The folksonglike Andante cantabile was one of the composer’s most popular movements during his lifetime, and, as was common, was often performed separately from the rest of the quartet. Along with Tchaikovsky’s last piece for cello, the sprightly Pezzo capriccioso, this album exemplifies the composer’s innate understanding of the instrument and illustrates perfectly how he brings this understanding to life. 00:00:00 Variations on a Rococo Theme, TH 57: Op. 33 in A Major 00:18:37 Nocturnes No. 4 in C Minor, Op. 19: Andante sentimentale 00:23:16 Pezzo capriccioso, TH 62, Op. 62 in B Minor: Andante con moto 00:30:06 String Quartet, TH 111, Op. 11 in D Major: II.

The complete works for cello and orchestra played with the original version of the score. A return to the original reveals what we have been missing in the way of a rather more substantial and coherent work, and there are but one or two rival versions on the market.

It’s true that the complete works for cello and orchestra amount to less than half this video’s duration, comprising as they do a couple of miniatures (the Pezzo Capriccioso and Nocturne) and the evergreen Rococo Variations. But the first point of importance is that the fine Russian cellist Alexander Rudin plays the original version of the score, and not the much more widely available piece of well-meaning butchery by a cellist of Tchaikovsky’s own time, Wilhelm Fitzenhagen. Fitzenhagen fiddled around with the order of the variations and left one out altogether, as well as somewhat simplifying the composer’s original and strenuous but effective demands upon the soloist. A return to the original reveals what we have been missing in the way of a rather more substantial and coherent work, and there are but one or two rival versions on the market. In addition, Rudin complements the Variations with the gorgeous interlude from Swan Lake that features a solo cello, as well as an arrangement of the famous Andante cantabile from the First String Quartet. He then conducts this Muscovy orchestra himself in the Serenade for Strings.
