Elliott M. Golub

I was privileged to work as a recording engineer on hundreds of sessions with Elliot over a period of 25 years. He was first call in the violin section for every producer I worked with, and for good reason. He was the consummate professional but not just that; he was also a warm and genuine person.

And he was a perfectionist! More often than not, when the producer was satisfied with a take, Elliot would say, Can we try one more? I think we can do better. He held himself and the entire string section to a higher standard. And even though it may have only been for a 30 second spot in which the string section would be nearly inaudible under the announcer, he wouldnt consider it done until he knew he and his posse had done their absolute best.

Godspeed Elliot. If theres music wherever you are now, it will be better for your presence.

To know Elliot was to know an artistic soul, a sharp mind, and a true gentleman. He loved music and his generosity is still felt by all of us here in Cremona, Italy -where an exhibition of his cherished violin had recently been inaugurated. Fly with the Angels,Elliot, and thank you for making all of our lives more beautiful. Dear Mona, Jessica,Todd et al, my heart is with yours today. Baruch dayan ha'emet.

Dear Mona,Tod and Jessica.
We are so saddened to hear the news of Elliot's passing. We are out of town at the International Diuble Reed Conference in Tampa Florida. If our plane lands on time Thursday night we will come to the end of Shiva. Our hearts go out to all of you. May his memory be for a blessing. Bob and Sandie

Elliott was a wonderful friend,a terrific violinist. He will be missed by all of us who had the great fortune of knowing him and marvel at his great artistry.

A great musician and a fine gentleman. Trio Chicago was a major diplomatic asset for the US. Elliot was brilliant as the MC and lead violin in Trio Chicago's recent performance at Carleton College. So glad we got to see and hear him one last time.

The world has just lost a rather talented man,both musically and as a very decent human being. He will be missed

Deepest condolences; Jos Davidson
