All Analogue AAA Recording! Mastered by Kevin Gray
from the Original Analogue Tapes & pressed at Pallas in Germany on 180g Vinyl!
For this collection of songs of prayer, Gary Karr performs with Harmon Lewis
on organ. Selections from Mozart, Schubert, Bizet, and more are represented on
this release.
The soulful sound of the doublebass with organ is perfectly suited for this kind
of meditative music. The performance is so absorbing that it demands the
listener's full attention. This music was so successful with this combination of
instruments that the Karr/Lewis Duo planned to release more CDs of this
spiritual nature.
Gary Karr, acclaimed as "the world's leading solo bassist" (Time
Magazine), is, in fact, the first solo doublebassist in history to make that
pursuit a full-time career. It is a career that adds new lustre to his already
lustrous 1611 Amati doublebass which was given to him by the widow of Serge
Koussevitzky.
Since his debut with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in 1962,
Karr has performed as soloist on six continents with orchestras, including the
Chicago Symphony, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic,
Montreal Symphony, Simon Bolivar Orchestra (Caracas, Venezuela), Jerusalem
Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, and with all the major
orchestras of Australia.
