Now, finally emboldened to speak after the Aaron Rosand article, pianist Mordecai Shehori says that Stern tried to get him "expelled" from the US! Of course, this being another Norman Lebrecht special, the headline is overstated, and the usual qualifications about slime ball reporters (i.e., Lebrecht) still apply. Also, check out the reply from Maxim Gershunoff, one of Hurok's administrators. This is better than e-Channel!

Thanks! for sharing.
C'mon guys, Norman Lebrecht? How do you know he's lying? His lips are moving.
The source is Aaron Rosand, not Lebrecht.
If it passed through Lebrecht's hands it becomes suspect.
Good ol' Norman Lebrecht. Too bad Pavarotti has passed away. We could see shirtless pictures of him on the beach.
Lebrecht's offense here seems to be that of publishing Mordecai Shehori's letter.
I guess we need to ask what is more newsworthy, an artist who spends his career destroying the careers of other artists or one who marries his girlfriend's adopted daughter?
Neither one is newsworthy at all. Gossip is entertainment, not news.
How are either "gossip?" Seems to me the accusations against Stern are far more serious and significant than tabloid gossip. I'm sure it was to the folks whose careers were affected by it.
marry his ex-girlfriend's adopted daughter.
The main difference between news and gossip is not that gossip is always false (though it is often grossly distorted) but that it concerns matters that may be of great importance to those directly involved, but not to the world at large.
Isaac Stern's alleged behind-the-scenes maneuvers may be fun for some of us to chat about now, but are at best a tiny footnote in the history of the American music business (some would argue all of classical music is a footnote). The personal lives of Woody Allen and other Hollywood stars is always a hot topic, but let's be honest, of no real relevance to the rest of us. And don't take that as meaning I approve of his personal life.

"Mordecai Shehori was born in Israel and studied in Tel Aviv with Mindru Katz, whom he cites as his most influential teacher."
NOT
and he 'chose' to use his influence to destroy the careers of many fine musicians, and yes, some of those he 'chose' to destroy were Israeli.
would intentionally leave the seat UP after using the toilet when he knew women were also using the same one.
Plus he didn't wash his hands afterward.
Also, when seeing a book laying about with a bookmark in it, he'd change the bookmark to a different page!
He also wouldn't put a record back in the inner sleeve after playing, just dump it in the cover, nekkid!

Just passing on hearsay.
So disbar me!
