"Russians bent over to fan-
tastic extremes 'to make our stay
as comfortable as possible," de-
clared violinist Joseph Silver-
stein, who recently performed
with the Boston Symphony Or-
chestra as guest of the Soviet
government.
Silverstein, 24, spent six days
in Soviet Russia, participating
in five concerts plus tours of
Moscow and Leningrad. Lenin-
grad was the first Russian city
in which the orchestra per-
formed. The inhabitants gave
musicians a "terrific welcome,"
said Silverstein.

However, "the highest paid per-

"In general," summed Sil-
verstein, "Russian life seems
extremely depressing. Judg-
ing by our standards, the peo-
ple—who were "just wonder-
ful"-seem not particularly
happy," was his "personal sub-
jective opinion."
Silverstein also was with the
Boston Symphony, performing
in Dublin, Edinburgh, Copen-
hagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Hel-
sinki, Prague, Austria, Germany,
France, and England.
The son of the, late Bernard
Silverstein, instrumental in-

began his music training with
his father. He continued with
Joseph Gingold, Mischa Misha-

utilizing a scholarship at Cur-

concert-master of the Houston
Symphony, first violinist with
the Philadelphia Symphony, and
