Was This Great Bass-Baritone Ivan Rebroff or Hans-Rolf Rippert?

Does It Matter?

Born in Berlin of Russian parents, Ivan Rebroff was a bass-baritone with an extraordinary range of four and a half octaves, ranging from low bass to the soprano (falsetto) register.  It is an amazing voice which he chose to use mainly for singing Russian folk songs, but also performed opera, light classics and folk songs from other countries.

The Cello, So Mellow

Yehuda Hanani,
Israeli-American cellist

     There is no denying the effect of the sound of the cello; the variations of color seem inexhaustible. 

     Join Ida Faiella as we listen to four wonderful, yet different, cellists of our time playing glorious music for this instrument.  Yeduda Hanani plays Bach; James Kreger plays Mendelssohn; Maxine Neuman plays Allen Shawn and Michael Rudiakov plays Dvorak.  Music of the highest order played by musicians who are equal to the task.

     And remember, whether you are in Bennington or Bologna, you can listen to Monday Morning Music streaming online by going to www.wbtnam.org and clicking on Listen Live.
