I first came across Gary Karr, when, as a very young record collector, I was given a recording of Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals conducted by Bernstein (BRG 72072). On this 1962 LP Bernstein had deliberately selected some outstanding teenage musicians to play the work and Gary Karr was one of them. In fact he played The Swan normally heard on the cello but here on the double bass and Bernstein was obviously most moved by his performance as he said in his narration on the record. Aged only 19, Karr was already obtaining a uniquely strong, distinctive, lyrical and eloquent sound out of an instrument, which no one was taking seriously. It has been Karr’s obsession to reverse the public’s perception of this heavy, grumbling instrument and he is well on the way. He is the first full-time professional solo double-bassist in history according to his website and I for one would not like to disagree...musicweb-international.com

Bach - Violin Concertos: Rachel Podger, Brecon Baroque 5.0 out of 5 stars   Back to Bach! ,  October 17, 2010 By  Andres  Sender  (N. CA, USA) This review is from:  Bach: Violin Concertos (Audio CD) For those who already appreciate Rachel Podger's unique brand of magic I'll just say that this return to recorded Bach is lovely and all that one could hope for. All that one looks for is here, and there is more. For those who are not familiar with Rachel Podger, she is a unique voice among violinists. She has absorbed the principles of late Baroque performance practice and made them a part of herself, so that the articulation and inflection of that rhetorical approach to music flows from her as a natural idiom of expression. But this is only h
