Many documentaries, articles in magazines, and newspaper stories have portrayed Janos Starker as a cellovirtuoso. He has published numerous books and musical scores through Peer International, Schirmer, and International Music.
Playing style
Starker's playing style is intense and involves great technical mastery. According to some of his students, his technique revolves around long, stretched-out notes, with very little shifting noise from his left hand, resulting in smooth, pure tones, "each note sounding like a jewel."
Starker also wrote about the most effective way to play a stringed instrument in his book An Organized Method of String Playing for Cello (and one for Bass); another educational tool is his recording The Road to Cello Playing.
Starker received a Grammy nomination for his tribute to David Popper, a Czech cellist and composer, in 1990.
