tanding at the upright
piano in Ruth Najer's
Southfield home,
Alexander "Sasha" Bursh-
tein runs his fingers quickly
over the keys.
Satisfied the piano sounds
okay, Burshtein, 39, pulls
out the bench and sits down.
His hands touch the keys a
second time. Suddenly, the
piano is transformed into a
small orchestra.
Playing a piece by
Frederick Chopin, Burshtein
is full of concentration as his
hands race across the
keyboard and his feet tap to
the beat. Then, his serious
look gone, Burshtein turns
his head away from the
piano and smiles as he
begins playing the theme for
the Voice of America.
Burshtein first heard the
Voice of America radio show
as a boy growing up in
Boranovich in the Soviet
Union. He taught himself to
play American jazz and pop-
ular tunes by listening to
those broadcasts.
Coming from a musical
family — his father played
the trumpet and was a music
school director while his
grandfather was also a
musician — Burshtein has
an ear for music. He can play
a song just by hearing it a
few times.
Burshtein began playing
the piano when he was 5
years old. His father urged
him to study the piano be-
cause of the instrument's
popularity.
His family soon discovered
he was a gifted player and
sent him to the Minsk Con-
servatory. For 16 years, he
studied the piano.
He spent the next 10 years

in the Soviet Union as a
struggling classical and jazz
pianist, composer, music ar-
ranger and ensemble leader.
By 1984, Burshtein said he
was performing in Moscow,
Leningrad, Poland,
Yugoslavia and Japan. He
founded Alexander Bursh-
tein's Trio in 1986 which
played in various jazz fes-
tivals throughout the Soviet
Union and recorded some
albums.
"I play all different kinds
of music. I'll play classical,
jazz, and popular music. As
long as it is good music, I'll
do it," said Burshtein, who
has also mastered the organ
and accordion.
Yet in some ways his
success was bittersweet. Be-
ing Jewish hampered him

"I would never
change my name. It
would be like
changing my
nationality."
Alexander
Burshtein

professionally, Burshtein
said. He always felt people
noticed his religion more
than they noticed his talent.
The audiences "paid no at-
tention to the music. They
paid attention to how I
look," he said.
Despite pressure from
friends to change his last
name so it wouldn't sound
Jewish, Burshtein said, "I
would never change my
name. It would be like
changing my nationality."
When the chance came to
leave the Soviet Union, Bur-
shtein, his wife Ludmila, 37,
and daughter Zhanna, 17,
immigrated to Detroit with
