The numbers selected by Leader Altschuler demonstrate the fact that he knows how to please the people. He is also extremely liberal with his encores. Nikolai Sokoloff, the concert meister and violin soloist of the Russian Symphony Orchestra, is a performer of rare ability, and his interpretation of such numbers as the "Prize Song" from the "Meister Singer" and "Sduvenir de Mos-kou" stamp him as one of the foremost virtuoso of the country.
