SNAPS FROM THE EDINBURGH CONFERENCE


Christopher Weait took these clear photos at the Friday morning concert in Queen's Hall, Edinburgh, 15 August, 1980.

1. 2.3.

1) is of Gunther Angerhöfer performing on an 18th-century fagott with William Waterhouse at the harpsichord. Numbers two and three show the unusual first ever North American Bassoon Quartet with French bassoons:

2) Normal lens photo (distant group): the group about to begin Michel Corette's richly admired "le Phenix" Concerto with Lindsay Sinclair at the harpsichord.

3) Telephoto lens (recognizable faces): taken just at the end of one of the 4 quartet compositions performed by the ensemble. The bassoonists are, from left to right, Kim Laskowski (Brooklyn); Gerald Corey (Ottawa) Ronald Klimko (Moscow, Idaho) and Charles Holdeman (Wilmington, Delaware). Rehearsals (hard to arrange) were held at New York City and Edinburgh, Scotland.
