| ALBUM NOTES |
With a combined playing career of over 70 years, James Markey and Mike Roylance
have brought forward a project bringing the majesty and power of the bass
trombone and tuba to center stage. This recording presents orchestral excerpts
for these two instruments, as well as two important chamber works; one of
which is a world premiere by Phil Snedecor, EXTRAORDINARY FOUNDATIONS.
The duets feature both instruments in a virtuosic chamber music genre as solo
instruments in their own right. Critical to the sound of the modern orchestra, the
partnership of the bass trombone and tuba is displayed in a stunning package
of captivating playing combined with invaluable spoken words of advice and
wisdom. Pre-eminent artists and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra,
James Markey and Mike Roylance present well-known and lesser-known works of
Berlioz, Bruckner, Copland, Franck, Holst, Kodaly, Mahler, Mussorgsky, Prokofiev,
Respighi, Saint-Saens, Shostakovich, Richard Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and Richard
Wagner.
