He died Saturday at 81.

Isaac used mastery of violin to change world By Martin Steinberg: ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Isaac Stem, the master violinist who saved Carnegie Hall from the wrecking ball, died Saturday. He was 81. Stem was one of the last great violinists of his generation and helped advance the careers of generations of musicians who followed, including Itzhak Perlman, Plnchas Zukerman and Yo-Yo Ma. Stem died of heart failure at New York Weill Cornell Medical Center, said Ann Dlebold, spokeswoman for Carnegie Hall. He had suffered from heart disease for several years and had been in and out of the hospital for the past six weeks, said, Carnegie Hall Chairman Sandy Weill.

"Isaac was far more than a musician. He was a person who was outstanding In everything, whether thinking about politics, or business, or as a humanitarian," Weill said. Short, rotund and with pudgy, dimpled hands, Stem commanded a rich tone and steady rhythm from his 18th-century Guameri. With his dynamo energy and fluid -bow strokes, he was equally at home with the mathematical contortions of Bach, the fury of Beethoven, the syncopations of Brahms and the convulsions of 20th-century composers. Stem was one of the most recorded classical musicians in -history, making well over 100 recordings.

A supporter of Israel, tireless concertlzer, teacher and raconteur, Stem played well over 175 performances by the late 1990s at Carnegie Hall, America's musical temple renowned for its acoustics. The hall was built by Industrialist Andrew Carnegie and opened in 1891 with a concert conducted In part by Peter Illch "Carnegie was, is and will not' be only a building. It's an idea. It's a mythology, a necessary mythology about music," Stem said In a 1997 interview with CNN's Larry King. In the late 1950s, as the city was planning Lincoln Center, a developer proposed razing Carnegie Hall and building a 44-story office tower with panels of bright red porcelain and diagonally placed windows.

Life magazine in 1957 described the architect's plan as "a strange-looking checkerboard." Using his prestige and his contacts among fellow artists and benefactors, Stem rallied the opposillon, eventually securing legislation 'that enabled the city to acquire the building in 1960 for $5 million. "I talked a lot," Stem told King. "It's something 1 do very well. When you believe in something, you can move mountains. I knew that this could not disappear from the face of the Earth." Weill described Stem, who had been president of Carnegie Hall since 1960, as "the Inspiration for all of us to scale higher heights to create an institution that would really make the world feel Stem was bom In 1920 in Ukraine In the fledgling Soviet Union.

His parents brought him to America when he was 10 months old. settling in San Francisco. Believing that music was an essential ingredient to education, they started him on the piano at -age 6. Two years later, after hearing a friend's violin playing, he picked- up the fiddle and wound up playing it for the rest of his life. He never went to college.

He studied at the San Francisco Conservatory and with Naoum Blinder, concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony and a violinist of the Russian school of playing. "He taught me to teach myself, which Is the greatest thing a teacher can do," Stem recalled In a 1987 Interview with the Guardicm. At 16, Stem attracted his first national attention, performing'' the Brahms Violin Concerto with Pierre Monteux conducting the San Francisco Symphony In a concert broadcast on national radio. Seven years later, on Jan. 8, 1943, he made his Carnegie Hall debut in a recital produced by the Impresario Sol Hurok.

Perfomiing with pianist Alexander Zakln, who became his longtime accompanist Stem played Mozart, Bach, Szyrna-nowskl, Brahms and Wieniawski. The performance attracted- the attention of composer-critic Virgil Thomson. Writing in the New York Herald Tribune, Thomson proclaimed Stem "one of the world's master fiddle players."
