[Trombone-l] 1967 Chicago Symphony Trombone section CD

[Robert Hess]

Thanks Brian:

For those of you not familiar with these recordings, it might be
interesting to note that there are more pieces that were recorded and
broadcast.  I have a copy of the original recordings and can tell you
that Volume II will be worth the wait.  There has been so much folklore
around these tapes for so many years, I'm glad that they are now
available to the entire trombone community.  

Vol. II (should have)

1.  A. Bruckner - Two Aequale (First Movement Only)  Trombone Trio
2.  Flor Peeters - Suite for Four Trombones (Bass Trombone opening by Ed
Kleinhammer will be worth the    	price of the CD!!)
3.  L. v. Beethoven - Drei Aequale for Trombone Quartet
4.  J.M. Defay - Quatre de Trombones pour Quator de Trombones
5.  E. Bozza - Trois Pieces (Second movement - played without mutes)  


Another bootleg tape that has circulated from this same period, is one
of Jay Friedman, Glenn Dodson, and Ed Klienhammer playing trios in Jay's
living room playing Corelli, Handel, etc!! This is a master class in
ensemble playing and intonation.  

Thanks again, Brian

OK, this is a commercial message - I don't do many of these, only when
something comes in that some people would be interested in. Unlike the
1971 recording that had orchestral excerpts, this is only trombone
quartets. At that time Glen Dodson was still in Chicago before going to
Philadelphia. There is more information including some samples at

The 1967 Chicago Symphony
 Trombone Section


     Jay Friedman, Glenn Dodson, Frank Crisafulli and Edward Kleinhammer


The first thing I remember about this recording project was Jean
Martinon, CSO Music Director, learning we had a trio made up of myself,
Glenn and Ed. He wanted to hear us play, so we did so after a rehearsal
one day. That turned into a chamber music concert where all four
trombones played the Schutz motets and the Speer Sonatas, as well as the
Stavinsky Octet. In those days radio station WFMT liked to record
recitals that were happening for the station, especially by CSO members.
The recordings were largely done by Norman Pellegrini. I called Norm and
asked if would like to record a full recital for the radio station and
he agreed. We had two or three sessions in the Bond Chapel on the
University of Chicago campus. It was a small chapel and we were
seperated by about 20 feet for good stereo seperation - Jay and Glenn on
one side, and Chris and Ed on the other. I think the sound of this
recording is superior to the sound quality on the 1971 CSO Low Brass
Excerpt recording. We never played together as a quartet prior to that
or since.

On this recording Mr Friedman and Mr Dodson alternate on the first and
second parts; Mr Crisafulli plays the third parts; Mr Kleinhammer plays
bass trombone on all selections.
