Yizhak Schotten

A student of the legendary William Primrose, violist Yizhak Schotten became better known as a teacher and organizer than as a performer, but in his prime, he had an excellent performing career. He made a fine body of recordings during his career that bear witness to his abilities. Among those was a recording of orchestral excerpts featuring the viola, complete with commentary to aid other violists in performing the works. Schotten died on September 23, 2024.
