Chamber Works 6
Featuring Violinst/Violist Larrie Howard, Composer/Bassist Proto and Pianist Michael Chertock the lastest release in Red Mark's series on Proto's Chamber Music includes three recent works: Sonata for Violin and Piano (2004), Duo No. 2 for Violin and Double Bass (2005) and Duo for Viola and Double Bass (2007)
"The music of Frank Proto never fails to surprise and delight his listeners. For almost fifty years Proto has been developing, refining and also expanding his art. His compositions, from small chamber settings to large orchestral palettes, reveal an impressive variety of musical textures. Apart from his classical training and 30 year tenure as a bassist with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, his early experience as a free-lance musician in New York and his talent as an improvising jazz performer have helped shape many of his compositions."
