Isaac Stern (21 July 1920 – 22 September 2001) was an American violinist.
Not Too Stern
Stern served as musical advisor for the 1946 film, Humoresque about a rising violin star and his patron, played respectively by John Garfield (whose “playing” he dubbed” and Joan Crawford. He was also the featured violin soloist on the soundtrack for the 1971 film of Fiddler on the Roof. – adapted from Wikipedia
Perhaps you will be glad to learn
That violinist Isaac Stern,
With talent and technique to burn,
Wasn’t haughty or aloof, --
Of this he gave no better proof
Than dubbing Fiddler on the Roof.
