Bass-Clarinetists of Death
Posted by Todd Reynolds on September 19, 2006
Years ago, the Bass-Clarinet became much more than an orchestral instrument, and as such, the volume of music, both chamber and solo which is written for it has exponentially increased.
Evan Ziporyn, the composer of Tree Frog, is a Bass-Clarinetist whose musicianship, compositions and sheer powerful voice on the Bass-Clarinet is well-known and respected throughout the classical and world-music fields.
As amazing, as notable, and in fact the perfect foil and alter-ego to Evan is another incredible Bass-Clarinetist, Michael Lowenstern, whose website, earspasm.com has all the material you need to broaden your ‘bass-clarinetness’.
Check these guys out, PLEASE, even if you’re not a clarinetist, and share the links with your friends. Then SlapTongue your heart out.
