Bronislaw Huberman (19 December 1882 û 16 June 1947) was a Polish violinist. He was known for his individualistic and personal interpretations. TheGibson ex-Huberman Stradivarius violin which bears his name, was stolen and recovered twice during the period in which he owned the instrument.

Biography
Huberman was born in Czestochowa, Poland, a pupil of Mieczyslaw Michalowicz at the Warsaw Conservatory, and of Isidor Lotto in Paris. In 1892 he studied under Joseph Joachim in Berlin. Despite being only ten years old, he dazzled Joachim with performances of Ludwig Spohr (1784-1859), Henri Vieuxtemps, and the transcription of a Frederic Chopin nocturne. However the two did not get on well, and after his fourteenth birthday he took no more lessons. In 1893 he made a concert-tour as an esteemed virtuoso. In 1894 Adelina Patti invited him to participate in her farewell gala in London, which he did, and in the following year actually eclipsed her in appearance in Vienna. In 1896 he performed the violin concerto of Johannes Brahms in the presence of the composer, who was initially incredulous, and finally overwhelmed, by what he heard.

In 1929 Huberman first visited Palestine, and developed the vision of establishing classical music in the Promised Land. He made his home in Vienna, where he was made a member of the Conservatoire, and where with Arthur Schnabel and Pau Casals he celebrated the Brahms Centenary of 1933 since both he and Schnabel were by then unwelcome in Berlin. He declined invitations from Wilhelm Furtwangler to return to preach a "musical peace" , but wrote instead an open letter to German intellectuals inviting them to remember their essential values. In 1936 he founded the Palestine Orchestra, which gave its first performance on 26 Decembers with Arturo Toscanini conducting. This laid the foundations of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, which, however, was not established until 1948, a year after Huberman's death.

In 1937, a year before the Anschluss, he left Vienna and was given refuge in Switzerland, in the same year making a tour of Australia. In 1938 his career was nearly ended when he was involved in an aeroplane accident in Sumatra, in which his wrist and two fingers of his left hand were broken. After intensive and painful retraining he was able to resume performing. At the onset of the Second World War, Huberman was touring South Africa, and was unable to return to Switzerland until after the war. He died in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland in 1947.

Huberman was the teacher of Eric Rosenblith.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.85 – 5.75$

2 records: 6.75$

5 records: 9.00$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.

Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower
