The A Z of String Players surveys the lives, careers and recordings
of over 300 string players from the past and present. Many great
string players who have made recordings are included, from Accardo
to Zukerman. The text covers artists from the earliest recording
processes to contemporary, cutting-edge technology. In this clear
and straight-forward publication, the artists are listed
alphabetically, with a summary of their career, notable recordings,
biography and critical appraisal of their recorded legacy. In
addition, four compact discs present a selection of recordings from
69 artists. This package will appeal to enthusiast and scholar
alike as a readable, informed and fascinating work of reference.
Twelve Fantasias - Telemann/Klages for unaccompanied BC Euphonium
In the baroque era the distinction between performers and composers
was not nearly as clear as it has since become. Telemann was
typical of most composers in that he was also a professional
performer--at a very high level, in fact--and most performers were
far better versed in composition and improvisation than their
twentieth-century counterparts. Accepting the invitation implicit
in the title, I like to think of Telemann's Fantasias as
written-down improvisations by a very quick-witted
composer/flutist, able to imply two-part counterpoint (not so
far-fetched, when we recall that Bach could improvise at the
keyboard in strict four-part counterpoint), and with a variety of
surprises in store for the attentive listener. - JK
