Andor Toth Jr.

Andor Toth Jr.

Andor Toth, Jr. (1948-2002) was an American cellist in the strong Central European, Berlin, and Hungarian traditions, bringing to the public a clear aural vision of structure in the music he played, while channeling the emotional character of that music into the hearts of his listeners.

Andor Toth, Jr. was the son of the famous violinist Andor Toth, with whom he collaborated in the Toth Duo and the New Hungarian Quartet. His teachers were Gabor Rejto and [http://www.neikrug.org/ George Neikrug] . He studied cello with Neikrug at the University of Texas before leaving for an appointment as solo cellist with the San Francisco Symphony under conductor Josef Krips.

When he died of esophageal cancer on September 24, 2002, he was Professor of Cello at the Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio, where he had taught for 30 years.

Performance

In 1972, when Andor Toth Jr. joined the Oberlin faculty, his father, who was also on the faculty, formed the New Hungarian Quartet.
