A San Francisco concert reviewer noted that Mr. Kuo is a "young cellist who is far ahead of the curve on his quest for a solo career." Born in Taipei, Taiwan, he began his study of the cello at age four. In 1986 he continued his instruction in the United States first with Ms. Marion Feldman at the Manhattan School of Music and then under the tutelage of Mr. Harvey Shapiro at The Juilliard School. In 1996 Mr. Kuo was awarded permanent residency by the U.S. government under the " extraordinary ability" category. After receiving his bachelor's degree from Juilliard, he was awarded a full scholarship to Yale University School of Music to study with Mr. Aldo Parisot and serve as his teaching assistant. In May 1999, Mr. Kuo received his master degree from Yale and was awarded the coveted Aldo Parisot Prize in recognition of his stature as "a gifted cellist who shows promise for a concert career." The press regularly seeks out Mr. Kuo for his views on music, performing and music education. He is the subject of innumerable articles in newspapers around the world. The American String Teachers Association magazine featured him in an article entitled "On Competition - the Ups, the Downs, the Joy."

With performance venues ranging from the concert stage to soup kitchens and from presidential inaugurals to juvenile correctional facilities, the Marian Anderson String Quartet continues to uphold its mission to create new and diverse audiences for the field of chamber music. On September 30,1989 the members of the Marian Anderson String Quartet came together, unaware that they would soon change history. At that time the ensemble was known as the Chaminade Quartet and in 1991 had gone on to win the International Cleveland Quartet Competition; becoming the first African American ensemble in history to win a classical music competition. To highlight their singular achievement, the members of the Quartet asked the permission of the great contralto, Marian Anderson, to use her name as the new name of their group. Miss Anderson responded with heartfelt approval. In a memorable show of thanks the Anderson quartet played for its legendary namesake and her nephew, the conductor James DePriest. The Marian Anderson String Quartet's artistic endeavors have brought them to such venues as New York City's Alice Tully Hall, the Corcoran Gallery, the Library of Congress, the Cleveland Institute of Music, Kilbourn Hall, the University of Southern California and the Chateau Cantanac-Brown (Bordeaux, France). The Quartet's distinguished history includes performances through the Da Camera Society, the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. On January 20, 1993 they performed at Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center as part of the 52nd presidential inaugural celebration.

Each year the Festival features up to 30 or more performances by many of the world's most acclaimed musical artists as well as sixty or more of the up and coming musicians who are selected to participate as Fellows of the Yale Summer School of Music. Over the years, the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival has become renowned as a center for chamber music performance and professional study, unusual programming, and innovative offerings The Festival is situated on the Ellen Battell Stoeckel Estate's 70 acres of rolling lawns, glorious gardens and historic buildings¡ªin the rural town of Norfolk in Northwestern, Connecticut. The strong tradition of music in Norfolk dates back more than a century. Ellen Battell Stoeckel, an accomplished pianist and singer, began informal musical gatherings in Whitehouse, the Estate's 35-room family mansion. Mrs. Stoeckel and her husband Carl, son of Gustav Stoeckel, the first Professor of Music at Yale University, founded the Litchfield County Choral Union in 1899 and built a music festival around its concerts. The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival quickly became one of the most important and prestigious musical events of its time. Audiences for the concerts grew quickly, and the Stoeckels commissioned New York architect E.K. Rossiter to build a new concert hall to accommodate the crowds. The Music Shed, dedicated in 1906, still serves as the venue for Festival concerts"a beautiful long and narrow, cedar and redwood marvel which projects the most delicate pianissimo to the room's farthest corner with loving clarity." Instrumentalists from the New York Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera came to Norfolk on specially chartered trains. Luminaries who graced the stage of the Music Shed during these years included Fritz Kreisler, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Enrico Caruso, Efrem Zimbalist, Alma Gluck, Louise Homer, and Jan Ignace Paderewski.

Extractions: CBC Records SMCD5207 DDD 65:41 Ehnes, who was born in Manitoba in 1976, studied violin in Canada and later at Juilliard, where he won the Peter Mennin Prize for "outstanding achievement and leadership in music." Erick Friedman, no slouchy violinist, has called Ehnes "a talent that comes around once in a hundred years." Recently, I reviewed a disc of Prokofieff violin sonatas played by Ehnes and pianist Wendy Chen (Analekta fleurs de lys FL 2 3145). My verdict, when this pair was compared to Mintz and Bronfman, Perlman and Ashkenazy, and Sitkovetsky and Gililov, was that the disc was a pleasure, but not particularly special. I called it, for better and worse, an "everyday" reading. Ehnes's Bruch makes a good impression. Neither his technique nor his musicianship can be faulted. Playing like this would be very welcome in performance; however, I am not sure how well it stands up to repeated listening, where one ideally wants something more. Ehnes has yet to show me a voice of his own. There's little about his interpretation that reveals his individuality. In a work as Romantic as Bruch's First Violin Concerto, pervasive objectivity is not really called for. Almost "everyone" has recorded this concerto, and recordings such as those by Menuhin, Heifetz, Laredo, and Stern offer more personality. Dutoit-collectors will want this CD because it presents their hero on a label other than Decca or Deutsche Grammophon. Twenty years from now it might be a collector's item. The playing of the Montrealers is excellent, and Dutoit is a sympathetic conductor. In fact, the lively orchestral work shows the soloist up a little.

Still in his early twenties, Antal Szalai has already benefited from the tutelage of such great violinists as Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Pinchas Zukerman, Erick Friedman, Tibor Varga, Gyorgy Pauk and Lorand Fenyves. In addition to an accomplished career performing with orchestras, Szalai has given recitals in some of the most prestigious venues in the world.

With most Bach double violin recordings, I am often tempted to hit the track button and move on. With this recording, I feel guilty if I don't listen to the whole movement. I was impressed at the way the violins are well balanced on this re-issue. Usually, Heifetz gets the microphone! As for the Mozart, Primrose shows great athletic prowess on the viola, and at times gives a more convincing rendition of some of the passage work of the Sinfonia. However, one is always charmed with the sweeping phrases of Heifetz. The style of play between the two is not entirely opposed, but it is noticeable, and can be very educational to listen carefully to the different ways they execute. Primrose always thought that Heifetz could have been even better had he played with a lower bow arm!
