I talk a lot about what the orchestra plays, what other orchestras sound like, and what I think of other musicians. It dawned on me that I haven’t really put myself out there – if I’m going to throw stones, I might as well be in the line of fire myself.
Here’s a brief sample of Max Bruch’s Romance for viola and piano, Op. 85. It’s from a performance I gave with pianist Lisa Bergman at the Max Aronoff Viola Institute (where I serve on the faculty towards the end of each June). I don’t think that it stinks too horribly – enjoy!

If you liked what you heard, you can go to my personal website and take a listen to the complete Bruch and two other selections at your leisure. [Note: the two other selections do require that you have Quicktime player installed on your computer - it's free and there are links to instructions on how to install and use Quicktime.]
