Remembering David Soyer
David Soyer played his cello for 37 years as a member of the legendary Guarneri Quartet. He retired from the quartet in 2001, at age 78. But Soyer continued teaching until just before he died last week, at age 87. Guarneri Quartet members Arnold Steinhardt and Peter Wiley join us with fond memories of David Soyer, his remarkable musicianship, and his role as mentor in the lives of so many musicians. And we'll hear from several of Soyer's classic recordings with the Guarneri Quartet, including music by Dvorak, Beethoven, and Grieg.
