Goossens and Bridge: String Sextets
Eugene Goossens Concertino for String Octet Phantasy Sextet Frank Bridge Sextet Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Ensemble Kenneth Sillito concertmaster Chandos 1997 digital download with covers and booklet A shrewd programme, excellently realized by performers and studio crew alike. None of these three fine chamber offerings is, strictly speaking, otherwise represented in the current listings. Why the qualification in that last sentence? Well, Vernon Handley and the Sydney SO on a rewarding all-Goossens anthology from ABC Classics have already given us the Concertino in its alternative (1929) version for double string orchestra. Chandos now offer us the piece in its original 1928 guise for string octet.

Postcard from South Africa – "What It Takes: Double Bass"
Young South African double bass players took part in a new dedicated course for their instrument at the end of last year – with promising results, writes faculty member Leon BoschThe South African National Youth Orchestra's (Sanyo) "What It Takes: Double Bass 2018" event took place at Jan van Riebeeck High School in Tamboerskloof, on the slopes of Table Mountain in Cape Town from 9 to 12 December 2018. With 23 participants and an international faculty of seven, this was the first course of its kind in South Africa, and almost certainly signals a turning point for double bass in the country.The instrument-specific What It Takes events, launched in 2014, are the brainchild of the orchestra's chief executive Sophia Welz, and are designed to benefit not just the young musicians of Sanyo, but also their teachers and other interested parties. The courses cover many aspects of professional musicianship, including "audition […]
