Brahm, brahma, brahman. Brahm was the great architect/creator of four children the white,red,yellow and black children of the four corners of his world. He created the brahman as his favourite and named him after himself. Brahm left the children to fend for themselves knowing fulwell the consequences to come. The red man beat and pacified the others under the order of the white.the yellow forced to the fields, the black chained to the rock. Brahm returned with anger toward his favourite son and accomplice, damning them to death and hell. Brahm released the black and scorned the yellow for servitude and complicity in the plot of this lord of the flies which he set in charge of the other castes, and made yellow the lesser of the two he let live. Brahman was the son most like the divine father. He was the priest. The names of the other three were Shatria, Vaishia and sudra. They were the warrior, the tradesman, and the serf.
I believe it's Janos Starker, who was principal cello of the CSO at the time
of 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
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.
Johannes Brahms was born on May 7, 1833 and died on April 3, 1897. Johannes Brahms would have been 63 years old at the time of death or 182 years old today.

What is the hardest brahms piano piece?
Hands down, the Brahms- Paganini Variations. Followed by the Handel Variations and Fugue, both mammoth pieces, but hard in different ways. The Paganini Variaions are wicked, fire eating virtuoso pieces. Clara Schumann sourly called them "witch variations", admitting she couldn't even manage them herself.
