Roman Totenberg, renowned violinist and teacher, dies at 101
Roman Totenberg, the distinguished violinist who was for decades a pillar of Boston’s music community, died Tuesday morning at age 101. Born in Poland, he made his professional debut with the Warsaw Philharmonic at age 11. As a student of Carl Flesch and Georges Enesco, he represented one of the last living bridges to older European styles. In its prime, his playing possessed a virtuosity mixed with a rare elegance and spontaneity of phrasing, a sense of music’s lyrical imperatives far beyond the printed score.
