Bertram Turetzky . Bassist-composer, Bertram Turetzky, has been at the forefront of contemporary music for 50 years and these brief and evocative vignettes combine simple musical texts (narrated by the bassist) with effective musical ideas and effects. There is nothing here to challenge the technique, but great scope for musical exploration and phrasing, and would easily fit into any recital and for any audience. '...a reasonably straightforward entry point into contemporary music making...brief, yet always most atmospheric.' [ESTA News & Views]. Performance Level: 8;Advanced.. Grade: 8 - Advanced
