Hedwig mentioned that Jasha Bronstein studied violin in Czernowitz with Pro=
fessor Samuel Flor, who was my late brother’s teacher as well. I had the =
privilege of meeting Professor Flor and his pianist wife Gertie Flor in New=
 York. During our visit, Professor Flor handed me a folder with a few news=
paper pages of reviews of his students’ concerts, and one about my br=
other’s recital at Radio Chisinau, which I wish to share with you.
 
. Die Lokalzeitung Morgenblatt schrieb die folgende Kritik: (Morgenblatt, 1=
0. Mai 1940)

“Radiokonzert M. Glasberg. Beim Anhören des Geigers Glasberg Manasse ha=
tte ich das stolze Empfinden, er ist ein Czernowitzer, der zum Ruhm unserer=
 Stadt sein Künstlertum durch das Radio verbreitet. Ein kaum 17jähriger=
 Geiger, welcher, unbeirrt, in aller Stille seinen vorgezeichneten Weg geht=
, wurde vom Radio Kishiniev berufen, dort das Violinkonzert von Bach A-Moll=
 zu spielen. Sein Ton scheint für’s Mikrophon besonders geeignet zu sei=
n und ist oft von blühender Fülle. Die Interpretation war klar, einwand=
frei und echter Klassizismus. Wenn ihm auch vorläufig noch sein Lehrer, P=
rofessor S. Flor, den Weg ebnet und ihm über die ersten Hindernisse des =
öffentlichen Auftretens hinweghilft, so ist diesem Talent doch gewiss ein=
e Zukunft, die über den Durchschnitt hinausgeht, vorauszusagen.“

The local Morgenblatt newspaper wrote the following review: (Morgenblatt, M=
ay 10, 1940)

  "Radioconcert M. Glasberg. The violinist Manasse Glasberg is a Czernowitz=
er whose artistic genius and fame have spread throughout our town. Barely s=
eventeen years old, steadfast and serene, he follows his artistic path. He =
was invited by Radio Kishiniev to play the Bach Violin concerto in A minor.=
 His tone appeared to be especially appropriate for the microphone, often o=
f blooming fullness. His interpretation was clear, faultless and of genuine=
 classicism. If his teacher, Professor S. Flor, helps him to pave his road =
and to overcome his first obstacles to a public appearance, this talent cer=
tainly has a predictable future that will surpass the average." (my transla=
tion)
