Abstract:
"The purpose of transcriptions has never been to "improve" the original, nor has it been to stimulate an identical effect. It can only be likened to a painter putting on canvas the same tray of fruits, or the same landscape, that others before him have painted. The subject therefore may be identical, but each artist's approach is different, conditioned by his brush, eyes and creative personality." - Janos Starker 1960 This is a special album for Rae de Lisle, who has created it with her son-in-law Andrew (NZSO's Principal Cello) and daughter Julia (Principal Viola with the NZSO).
