Description
From a recording made in 1973 violinist Daniel Kobialka is interviewed by Charles Amirkhanian after having just recently returned from Atlanta, GA, where he gave the world premiere performance of Ben Weber’s “Violin Concerto”. Kobialka, who was on the faculty at Hayward State, talks about his many performances of works by living composers, including Lou Harrison, Henry Brant, Leonard Bernstein, and many more. In addition Kobialka describes his first forays into composition, including a collaboration with a rock band. (from KPFA Folio)Genres
