Carl Engel Heifetz Efrem Zimbalist Tsvetkova 2002 2003 2011
Violinist Shannon Lee first arrived at the Heifetz Institute in the summer of 2003, when she was just 11 years old, but already brimming with world-class ability. Check out this performance from her first year of the way-harder-than-it-may-first-appear salon piece "Sea-shell," by Carl Engel, arranged for violin and piano by violinist and the legendary Curtis Institute of Music director Efrem Zimbalist. Shannon is joined in this performance by the unseen pianist Elena Tsvetkova from the "Wolfetrap Artist Café" in the lakeside resort of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, home to the Heifetz Institute from 2002 to 2011.

Please note: while the sound for the first 20 seconds or so of this cylinder recording is distorted, the quality improves quickly and, for such an old recording, is really quite good. The original arrangement of this work for violin and cello was made by Michael Press, violinist, 1871-1938, my maternal grandfather. This is a recording done in someone's home in Berlin around 1908 on a Julius Block Cylinder ((http•••) the sound is wobbly at the beginning but improves. His brother Josef Press +••.••(...)), the first cello teacher engaged by The Eastman School of Music when it opened in 1921, is the cellist. Michael Press violinist, my maternal grandfather, was born in Vilna in 1872, at that time part of the Russian empire. His father, Isaac, was a trumpet player in the Vilna opera orchestra. After his father fell ill, he became concertmaster of the orchestra at age 13 and supported a large family. Before coming to the USA, he was a well-known soloist and teacher in Russia, Professor at The Moscow Conservatory, and toured throughout Europe with The Russian Trio, Michael Press, violin, his brother Joseph Press, cello and my grandmother, Vera Maurina Press +••.••(...)), piano. Both brothers were awarded gold medals on their graduation from the Imperial Conservatory in Moscow. Michael Press also published many arrangements for violin and piano as well as the original version of the Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia for violin and cello. Along with Leopold Auer and Efrem Zimbalist, he was on the violin faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music when it opened in 1924 and shared conducting of The Curtis Orchestra with Leopold Stokowski. He continued concertizing, conducted The Philadelphia Orchestra and Boston Symphony and was music director of the orchestra in Gothenburg, Sweden. He later taught at Michigan State University in East Lansing, MI, where he died in 1938. Below is more information. Dorothy Delay was one of his students from the years he taught at Michigan State University. Long articles about Michael and Josef Press can also be found in Gdal Saleski's Famous Musicians of Jewish Origin, Bloch Publishing, 1949. (http•••)
