  • LINER NOTES Recorded Anthology of American Music, Inc
    FLUTES New World Records 80403 Works by ROBERT BEASER PAUL SCHOENFIELD JOSEPH SCHWANTNER In 1986, three composers and three flutists met in a novel commissioning project supported by a National Endowment Consortium Commissioning Grant. Flutists Ransom Wilson, Carol Wincenc, and Paula Robison, each a longtime supporter and performer of new music, asked Joseph Schwantner, Paul Schoenfield, and Robert Beaser to write new works for flute and orchestra. On this recording, each solo artist presents the orchestral work composed for him or her, as well as a flute and piano "encore" by the same composer. When Aftertones of Infinity, Joseph Schwantner's first professional composition for symphony orchestra, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1979, a world of new commissions opened up to him. Born in Chicago in 1943 and trained there at the American Conservatory and Northwestern University, Schwantner had been on the faculty of the Eastman School of Music since 1970. He then was composer-in-residence with the Saint Louis Symphony from 1982 to 1985. According to Schwantner, his piece A Play of Shadows represents "an attempt to mirror [Ransom Wilson's] dramatic and compelling musical personality." Schwantner's evocative titles--Music of Amber, Distant Runes and Incantations, and A Sudden Rainbow are some of his other instrumental works -indicate a creative approach grounded in poetic imagery. "Sanctuary.../ deep forests,/a play of shadows..." is the haiku-like beginning of a brief epigraph the composer wrote in the score of A Play of Shadows, and the music's blend of repose and airy brilliance capture this image in sound.

Third Concert of the 103rd Season Summer Fare Series About the Artists Paula Robison, born in Nashville and raised in Los Angeles, is recognized as one of today's outstanding artists. Since becoming the first American to win first prize at the Geneva International Competition, she gives over one hundred performances annually, including appearances as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, San Francisco and Atlanta Symphonies, and Buffalo Philharmonic, as well as recitals in major halls throughout the country, among them Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She is a founding artist-member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, with whom she appears regularly, including a performance at the White House in September 1979. Recently, in March 1981, she made her debut tour of Japan. A strong advocate for the expansion of the flute repertoire, Miss Robison has brought into the concert hall many undeservedly neglected works of the past. Her interest in contemporary composers has led her to premiere works by Pierre Boulez and Toru Takemitsu, and in 1978 Leon Kirchner's "Music for Flute and Orchestra," composed especially for her.

From the start of the Baroque Period a hundred years earlier, skilled craftsmen like Gasparo da Salò advanced string instrument building technique until it reached its apex with the instruments of Antonio Stradivari and Giuseppe Guarneri. The burgeoning music publishing industry also inspired composers to write pieces that would stand out and establish their international reputations.

  • Spiritoso Con Vivo, Paula Robison!
    March 2011 Spiritoso con Vivo, Paula Robison! Interview by Katherine Fink was thrilled to have the opportunity to meet and to interview Paula Robison, always one of my favorite musicians and flutists. We chatted at her New York Iapartment on a mid-December afternoon. I was inspired by her courage and spirit, charmed by her wit, and impressed that she was so candid and welcoming to a new acquaintance. I am looking forward to hearing her concert and to enjoying a new friendship! KATHERINE FINK: What do you want to talk about? PAULA ROBISON: I’d like to thank my teachers! I’m so grateful to Marcel Moyse, Julius Baker, and the dancers and singers who influenced me when I was very young. Everything that I do reflects various parts of their knowledge and experience, and they helped me to see who I was and what I needed to do. KF: You had a lot of success in your early years. You made a big explosion onto the scene by winning the Geneva Competition and the Young Concert Artists competition, as well as playing and recording the Carnival of the Animals “Voliere” with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic. PR: Yes, that was formative! KF: The recording with the NY Phil is fabulous! Every time I play the piece I think of your performance, which was note perfect and beautiful...and you were only 20! PR: Well, I practiced that little piece for many hours...it’s magical. I also listened to birds, trying to imitate their sound. It’s a good thing, because at the recording session they only gave me one take.
