Joel Quarrington
is probably the best-known soloist on the string bass in North America and
probably the world. He was principal bass with the Toronto Symphony from 1991
to 2006, and is presently principal bass with the
National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. He has performed solos throughout the
world and performed with many of the world's leading string quartets. Coenraad
Bloemendal has performed solos with orchestras through Canada and plays with
some of the best chamber ensembles in Canada. This CD presents duos by
well-known names from the classical period as well as the world premiere
recording (and performance) of a piece, based on themes by Bach, written
especially for the duo by renowned award-winning composer and jazz bassist Don
Thompson. The name "In Memory of Glenn" refers to Glenn Gould, with
whom Bloemendal, Quarrington, and Thompson worked frequently. They were
involved in the last recording that Glenn Gould did before his death.
