Carol Robinson

Carol Robinson

Carol Robinson To say that Carol Robinson is a Franco-American composer and clarinetist does not really communicate the eclecticism of her experience and passion. She is not someone who likes the middle ground, preferring the edges, the extremes. Her music is situated in those places of tenderness and rage that come from commitment and mastery. Trained as a classical clarinetist, she graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory in the US before continuing her study of contemporary ...

Giacinto Scelsi

Giacinto Scelsi

A long ignored eccentric and outsider of the new music world (who never wanted his photograph to appear in connection with his music), the Italian composer and poet Giacinto Scelsi (strictly speaking Count Giacinto Scelsi di Ayala Valva, 1905-88) gained considerable recognition in the mid-1980s, just as his creative powers began to slacken. Hence he is often called the Charles Ives of Italy. While it took music publishers nearly 50 years to take on ...

In the 1980s and 1990s his name became prominently linked to the renaissance of the double bass, playing dozens of works written especially for him in major festivals throughout the world by composers such as Bussotti, Donatoni, Estrada, Ferneyhough, Frith, Globokar, Sciarrino, and Xenakis. He has created new techniques extending the colors and range of the double bass heretofore thought impossible ...
