Customer Reviews:

A Twentieth-Century Classic.......2003-09-15

This is a Twentieth-Century classic: superb execution of the most exciting compositions for the double bass since Koussevitsky. The performances by the Louisville Symphony Orchestra and Gary Karr of Ramsier's masterpieces, "Divertimento Concertante" and "The Road to Hamelin" had long been sold out in vinyl and here are re-mastered and issued in CD. In addition, the CD presents Mark Morton's virtuoso performance of Ramsier's "Silent Movie".

Exciting!.......2002-08-20

Mr Ramsier turns his music making hobby into lasting literature worth hearing and playing!
