The Origin And The Evolution Of The Double Bass, Patrick James Lavergne

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation will trace the double bass from the 16^th century to the 21^st century. The double bass is the largest and lowest pitched member of the string family. The members of the string family are the violin, viola, cello, and the double bass. The pitch of the double bass sounds one octave lower than the written pitch. The double bass is sometimes called the contrabass, string bass, upright bass, or bass fiddle. It is used in different genres of music such as classical, jazz, blues, bluegrass, country & western, and even rock.

The February 1,1947 Romeo et Juliette performance from the Metropolitan Opera has at last surfaced in fresh and good sound and has been released in a fine package from Immortal Performances, with nice texts, information and photos.

Naxos, Jussi Bjorling Collection #8: "O Sole Mio", Kristian Krogholm

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

A new great CD from Naxos in the JB Collection with careful restorations and transfers by Stefan Lindstrom, whose reproductions include some surface noise but consequently leave more of Jussi Bjorling's voice. Seldom have the old 78s been transferred to CD with such clarity and total balance, always maintaining Jussi Bjorling's voice in absolute focus. Mr. Lindstrom is always faithful to the actual sound of the source, never trying to create anything other than what is on the original recording, thus obtaining a more truthful result.

Every Summer he has joined Harald in greeting visitors, responding to email, making presentations and managing the many administrative chores of a small museum. During the more financially flush years of the past, Jan-Olaf was often joined in the Summer by the extremely tall Roger Alderstrand ( discoverer of an enormous number of performances by the young Bjorling boys in the Swedish hinterlands), but at the end, it is Jan-Olof who is putting his DNA into the Museum. …
