Signed and inscribed by Isaac Stern to Jack Gottlieb, with an additional similar inscription from James D Wolfensohn, Carnegie Hall's chairman of the board from 1980 to 1990. Stern writes, on the first free endpage: "You are one of the very few in on EVERYTHING since we began in 1960 - So many good memories to share as well as my gratitude for always being there to hel and care - Affectionately, Isaac Stern; October 6-1988)." Together with two Carnegie programs: Isaac Stern at 80; The Opening Night Gala, 2000.Jack Gottlieb (1930 - 2011) was an important composer, teacher and long time associate of Leonard Bernstein. Although he is primarily remembered as Leonard Bernstein’s ‘right hand man’ he was an important teacher and composer in his own right, particularly of music for the synagogue. Bernstein described Gottlieb as "one of the most important talents on the American musical scene.” (336)
