	A&E May 22, 1997 -- music
		Highly educated audiences --those with a lofty level of what Starker calls "trained perception" -- may not be a necessity at every performance, yet a cultural event of any kind does imply certain assumptions about the audience.
		And yet Starker, whose tireless struggle to bring recognition to the cello as a solo instrument helped pave the way for famous cellists like Mstislav Rostropovich or Yo-Yo Ma, does not expect most of the audience to fully appreciate everything he is doing in a performance.
		Starker's performance of the piece is appropriately personal; he phrases as a singer would, and uses his taut tone to interpret the work, rather than merely rendering it.
