4 out of 5 stars Best Comprehensive Survey of Canadian Music Available.......1999-01-19

This anthology of three Centuries(!) of Canadian music was assembled by a former producer from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation who now works for Naxos Canada. This producer is also active in the Canadian music world, so he knows whereof he speaks (or selects, as in this case). Liscensing the best performances available from major Canadian and International labels, this is the best collection of, and introudction to, the entire Canadian music scene that I have ever come across. The booklet is informative and is as enjoyable a read as is the 2 CD set is to listen. I doubt there will ever be anything quite like it again. If only NAXOS would now start recording Canadian music on top of the Canadian artists they already record, than they will truly have one of the finest and most comprehensive classical catalogues in the world. As for now, don't pass this one up.

5 out of 5 stars This music is beatiful........1999-12-17

I'm a 18 years old trumpetstudent, and I love the trumpetconcerto. It's (what I think) the most beutiful music ever been written. The concert is ordered by David Hickman, who also are the performer. He has a very nice and warm sound in his trumpet. The other pieces on this CD are also very beatiful, so if you like nice, warm, beatiful and relaxing music, buy this CD!

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing .......2006-07-04

    This is totally amazing. I wish i could play the bass like him, and he uses a German bow, which is less maneuverable than the French bow. A must own for all bassists.

    5 out of 5 stars Virtuoso Reality.......2000-04-27

    It would be difficult for anybody to follow a recording such as Joel Quarrington's Bottesini Vol.1, but Mr. Quarrington does so and then some. The selection of works on the CD dabbles in several different periods and the Papageno Variations does so all by itself. Every performer on the album plays up to the highest standard, and Mr. Quarrington continues to help push the bass envelope to higher and higher levels.

    5 out of 5 stars Truly a virtuoso!.......1999-09-19

    The beauty and mystery of Quarrington's technique is partly explained by his unusual and eclectic tuning. His personality shines through, leaving the listener awestruck by his brilliance.

    5 out of 5 stars Fantastic CD!.......1999-09-16

    This is one of the best bass recordings I have heard. The recording is well produced and the orchestra sounds wonderful in it's accompaniment. The Ziguenerweisen has to be heard to be believed. Most violinists would envy Quarrington's tempo!
