In 1940, LIFE magazine published a pictured home story about the famous double bass virtuoso (so called “bill fiddler”) and conductor Sergej Koussevitzky. This interesting article and hundreds of other issues of LIFE are available at Google Books. (I really *love* the old advertisings, too …)
It’s really great to get a look into any great musicians life and it is especially intriguing when the glimpse is from 70 years ago! Thanks for the post.
