Concertmaster,
conductor, and violinist who has worked in just about every major musical
genre. As a member of The Los
Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, alongside Zubin
Mehta, he is featured as the solo violinist on a number of recordings,
particularly the tone poems of Richard Strauss. Other notable classical recordings
he has appeared on include Franz Liszt's Orpheus and Franz
Schmidt: Symphony No.
4/Schoenberg: Chamber Symphony
No. 1. He was the concertmaster
of the L.A. Philharmonic from 1943 to 1972. Imagine his surprise when the LAPD
showed up on stage during a concert conducted by Toscanini. A woman in black entered stage
right, waltzing along with the music.
The audience thought it was part of the show. Toscanini was so into his music, he
had taken no notice of her. As
gales of laughter rolled through the audience, it was Frisina
who had to alert Toscanini of the unfolding events. Toscanini was heard to have
said: " Santa Maria!" It was just one of the many
"highlights" of Frisina's career. As he just happened to be in the
neighbourhood, David found himself working on film soundtracks such as Ben-Hur, Charade, Che!, The Color Purple, Dirty Harry, The Enforcer, and Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins. He has also worked with a list of
pop artists that looks something like The Hollywood Walk Of Fame, including
Desi Arnaz, George
Benson, Pat Boone, The Carpenters, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Harry Connick, Jr., Bing
Crosby, Bobby Darin, Doris Day, Earth, Wind & Fire, Percy Faith,
Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Al Hirt, Billie Holiday, Michael Jackson, Billy Joel, Eartha Kitt, Frankie Laine, Peggy Lee, Madonna, Melissa Manchester, Henry
Mancini, Herbie Mann, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis,
Billy May, Sergio Mendes, Ricky Nelson, Louis Prima, Johnnie Ray, Lionel Richie, Linda Ronstadt, Artie Shaw, Frank Sinatra,
Rod Stewart, Barbra Streisand, Mel Torme, Billy Vaughn, Dionne Warwick, and Deniece Williams . In 2007, L.A. Philharmonic
Concertmaster Emeritus David Frisina
magnanimously donated $2000 as the Second Prize of The Bronislaw
Kaper Awards For Young Musicians.
