Avshalomov developed an approach that grafted elements of traditional Chinese music—which he had first encountered as a child among the Chinese community of his Siberian home- town—onto a colorful Russian style in the manner of Rimsky- Korsakov. He used the Western-oriented symphony orchestra to imitate and evoke sounds of traditional Chinese instru- ments, and he also transcribed characteristic ornamentations and used such instruments as temple blocks and finger cymbals. His only musical studies were in Zurich and he then resided in Shanghai, excepting a few years in the U.S. and elsewhere, until 1946. He then permanently moved to Portland, OR, where his son, Jacob, was conductor of the Portland Symphony. – American Composers Alliance website. 3507. 12” PW Columbia Master Works Set 286 (68870-D – 68873-D).

He was a musical director for the Emerson Phonograph Company and in the later 1920s for Columbia. Here he recorded as a piano accompanist for several singers, including Alexander Kipnis. Later he worked for MGM in Hollywood as a music researcher and librarian. Bergh composed over 400 works in various genres.

BERLIN STATE OPERA ORCHESTRA. Aachen, 1871-1958. Blech studied at the Berlin Hochschule für Musik and with com- poser Engelbert Humperdinck. His long term conducting included the German Opera in Prague (1899-1906), the Berlin State Opera (1906-1923), the Charlottenburg Opera (1923-25) and then again the Berlin State Opera (1926-1937). Despite being Jewish, he was permitted to conduct in Germany following 1933 by having been made an “honorary Aryan”, although while guest conductiong in Riga in the later 1930s he was warned not to return to Germany. He re- mained with the Riga Opera until 1941 and then moved to Sweden, where he conducted the Stockholm Royal Opera. He ended his career by returning to the Berlin Opera, 1949- 1954. In addition to his success as an operatic and symphonic conductor, Blech was also a recognized composer in a variety of idioms, his opera Versiegelt (1908) having experienced international performances. 3250. 12” Red Orth.

A graduate of the Imperial Conservatory of Odessa at the age of 14, Blinder studied with Alexander Fiedeman and then at the Royal Manchester College of Music, 1910-1913, with Adolph Brodsky. He then taught at his Odessa alma mater until 1920 and toured the next eight years. In 1928 he made ten sides for Columbia in New York (his only solo recordings) around the time of his April 10, 1928 Carnegie Hall debut and then remained in New York for two years on the Juilliard School faculty. He subsequently became concert master of the San Francisco Symphony and was also noted as a teacher. Perhaps his most illustrious pupil was Isaac Stern, who made his debut at the age of 15, playing the Bach Double Concerto with his teacher. Glenn Dicterow was also a pupil. At one point Blinder had 17 students as members of the San Francisco Symphony and the entire first violin section of the Oakland Symphony. 3007. 10” Blk.
