Karen Bentleys Dancing Suite To Suite Reviewed By Hans-Theodor Wohlfahrt The outstanding American violinist karen bentley, a native of Palo Alto, California, and a pupil of among others of Josef Gingold, Yuval Yaron and Nathan http://www.musicweb-international.com/SandH/2002/Aug02/dancing_suite_to_suite.ht
Extractions: or over the internet www.neptunusrecords.com and www.kbentley.com The outstanding American violinist Karen Bentley, a native of Palo Alto, California, and a pupil of among others of Josef Gingold, Yuval Yaron and Nathan Milstein is always a surprise soloist, be it in concert, in collaboration with the widest possible range of musicians or on CD. In the States, she is well known as a champion of contemporary music; I had the honour of experiencing her playing contemporary pieces of great beauty, but also of utter rubbish, and always with her usual flair and sense of duty firmly believing that every composition has to be heard. But she also feels free to tackle any musical style from the classics to jazz and rock - and she always succeeds a hundred per cent. Next to her endless activities as a performer, conductor and composer she is currently the violinist in the Paul Dresher Electro Acoustic Band.

Extractions: In general, stick to the major record labels if you want interpretations by great artists of the core repertoire; investigate the smaller labels if youre interested in lesser-known works. Theres no clearer demonstration of this than the clutch of 20th-century music CDs that recently came my way for review. Listening to them confirmed a number of things in my mind: first, that theres an extraordinary wealth of music out there to explore; second, that CDs give todays composers and instrumentalists unprecedented opportunities for self-promotion; and last, that the term "20th-century music" incorporates such a variety of styles as to be virtually meaningless. Simplest musical forces first: solo recital discs. In the refreshingly direct booklet note for his CD
