Just arrived - the sequel to Portrait of an Artist!

Frank Byrne has done it again with Arnold Jacobs Legacy of a Master.

This new recording - like its earlier companion CD Portrait of an Artist - showcases the incredible artistry, musicianship and teaching of Arnold Jacobs, legendary tubist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra 1944-1988. This unique audio portrait is comprised entirely of recordings of Jacobs' voice from master classes, lectures and interviews, combined with rare recordings of Jacobs as a soloist, brass ensemble member with CSO colleagues, and home practice recordings. The accompanying booklet discusses the enduring legacy and contributions that Arnold Jacobs made to the field of brass teaching and orchestral performance and also includes a recommended list of recordings with the Chicago Symphony. Edmund Haines - Toccata; We are in an Art Form; A. Catozzi - Beelzebub; Essential Role of the Tuba; Range and Tone; Richard Wagner - Prelude to Act III of Lohengrin; Ceasar Franck - Symphony in D Minor; Air Versus Air Appuratus; Jean-Baptiste - Characteristic Etude No 1; Lips are Vocal Chords for the Instrument; Jacques-Francois Gallay - Etude Op. 13 No. 12; The Use of Air; Ernst Paudert - Etude; The Use of Devices; Ludwig Van Beethoven - String Quartet Op 18 No 2; Conditioned Responses, Becoming a Storyteller of Sound; Al Hayes - Solo Pomposo; The Art of Communication; The Art of Communication; The Art of Communication; Victor Ewald - Quintet Op. 5 No. 1

Thanks to Brian for posting this and for being the first to announce this to TubeNet.

This CD works even if you've not heard "Portrait of an Artist" but if you have, the information from Mr. Jacobs goes to a deeper level. There are rare recordings and a must-have performance of the Ewald Quintet #1.

Enjoy!

Thanks to MiraDave for the nice comments about the new CD "Legacy of an Artist" -- the companion to the earlier "Portrait of an Artist" CD tribute to Arnold Jacobs.

The CD booklet includes a list of recommended recordings and I put several on there that are currently out of print, but I included them because they are important documents.

I am happy to report that two of them are available through on-demand CDs via Arkivmusic.com

Through the ArkivCD series you can now buy

Reiner conducts Wagner (excerpts from Meistersinger and Gotterdammerung)

AND at my request they will soon have available

BERLIOZ: Symphonie fantastique and francs-juges overture with the CSO conducted by Sir Georg Solti. This was recorded at the Krannert Center in Champaign-Urbana IL and has some incredible tuba playing.

I will do another TubeNet post exclusively about these two recordings being available as soon as I see the Berlioz is up on their site.

Thanks

Frank

Sample sound clips are now up - take a listen!

Received my Legacy of a Master CD yesterday -- it's a great companion to the Portrait of an Artist disc. Thank you Frank, for this superb compilation and for giving us more of Arnold Jacobs to listen to and learn from!
