472: Colin Corner Recital - a podcast by Jason Heath
from 2018-04-09T11:00
I had the good pleasure of spending time with Oregon Symphony and Grant Park Symphony principal bassist Colin Corner recently. We did a deep-dive interview on auditioning, being a principal string player, and much more.
Colin and I also talked about getting some recent playing of his up on the podcast, and he shared this recital from the 2017 Pittsburgh Double Bass Symposium.
You’ll hear the following pieces on this episode:
- Romanze by Richard Strauss (originally for cello)
- Anderson Sonata No. 2 for Double Bass and Piano
- Weinberg Sonata for Solo Double Bass
- Chorale by Nicholas Walker
Enjoy, and a big shout-out to Colin for passing this along!
