Sandor Vegh
The first of two programmes exploring the music-making of one of the century's most influential string players and teachers. Sandor Vegh made his professional debut in 1931 and gave his last performance just a few days before his death last month. As a chamber player he worked with many of the world's leading musicians and led his own quartet for nearly half a century. While one of the Vegh Quartet recordings winged its way through the solar system aboard the Voyager spacecraft, Vegh shared his inspiration and musicianship in masterclasses and seminars with many musicians of the younger generation.
