I believe the Boston Globe coined that phrase.

His approach is not to moan and groan to display the technically  
difficult 
passages of a composition.  His teachings make sure that one has the  
technical tools
to play one's instrument, without gimmicks.  This is one reason why  
everything 
looks so easy when he performs.  We can listen to the music and not  
watch a 
performer emote excessively.

Selfishly I wish she could have archived more performances for the  
world to hear.
At least we can still hear the beautiful Stradivarius that the Queen  
presented 
her.  Yo-Yo Ma plays on the Du Pre Strad.

It is really unfortunate that Seffel folded.  The company was  
Hungarian owned 
and for financial reasons had to close shop, I don't have the  
details.

I posted an error that Starker was to release a forthcoming London  
recording of
the Bach Suites.  The recordings are going to be released on RCA,  
were recorded
in N.Y. and will be released sometime around Spring.  The Walton and  
Elgar concerti
will be released shortly before the Bach and were recorded in London,  
but don't quote me.
If I'm not mistaken this is Starker's fifth recording of the Bach  
Suites.  
My apologies for the error.
