Quote from this site: Having
played literally thousands of programs over the past 30 years, the idea of using
my experience in the accompanying and chamber music field to record all of the
accompaniments I have performed was realized last year when I began recording
the woodwind repertoire.
These accompaniments have been recorded with artists whose solo parts have been
edited out of the final product. The result is a very high quality professional
& musical accompaniment that can be used for a variety of performing situations,
or for at home learning.
It is my intention to provide a complete listing of all the woodwind, brass,
string and vocal repertoire. The recordings were made in one of Chicago’s top
recording studios and thus have a beautiful acoustic piano sound. I hope you
enjoy the result as much as I have enjoyed the endeavor.
From an e-mail we received:
