AnswerI believe it's Janos Starker, who was principal cello of the CSO at the timeof the recording. Now he's a cello professor at Indiana University.It's not Starker. He left the orchestra in 1958. And he's now dead. The cellist in question was Robert LaMarchina. You can read about him at . He had a giant talent but serious personal problems and wound up on the musical sidelines and dying a lonely death. He's credited on some of the reissues of the recording.Mr. Starker is still very much alive, well, and active in Bloomington, Indiana at the time of this posting - July 2008.The first and third answers are indeed correct. Mr. Starker played on the record in his last season with Chicago. And he is still alive at the time of this posting - September 2009. Robert Lamarchina, who however has died, played the solos when the orchestra recorded the concerto just a couple of years later, with Svjatoslav Richter, during the 1960-61 season. The conductor of that session, Richter's debut on American records, was Erich Leinsdorf, stepping in for an ailing Fritz Reiner.

He is often said to be the "Shakespeare of ballads" - he wrote more than 40 ballads which have been translated into over 50 languages, as well as the Toldi trilogy, to mention his most famous works.From Wikipedia
Hejre Kati is a famous Hungarian tune, probably from a Hungarian folk tune made famous by the Hungarian composer and violinist Jeno Hubay and the virtuoso Hungarian Gypsy violinist Janos Bihari in the twentieth and the nineteenth century respectively. Although this piece originally a typical Hungarian Gypsy music piece, made its international career as well thanks to Eddie South, Rafael Mendez, just a few to mention. The meaning of the word hejre is pretty, Kati is the short of Katalin the Hungarian equivalent of Catherine.
