Lukas Foss and Ivry Gitlis, 2022
This Week in Classical Music: August 22, 2022. Likas Foss and Ivry Gitlis. Last week we inadvertently missed an important anniversary: the 100th birthday of the German-American composer, pianist and conductor Lukas Foss, who was born in Berlin on August 15th of 1922 (he moved to Paris in 1933 and to the US in 1937).

Ginette made her first public appearance at the age of seven playing Bruch's Violin Concerto no. 1 and later that same year performing Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto with the Colonne Orchestra under the direction of Gabriel Pierné. She studied at the Paris Conservatory, receiving a premier prix at the age of 11, and then continued with George Enescu and the Hungarian teacher and violinist Carl Flesch (among Flesch’s pupils were Ivry Gitlis, Ida Haendel, Josef Hassid and Henryk Szeryng). In 1935, aged 15, Neveu won the International Wieniawski Competition; David Oistrakh, who was 11 years her older, […]
