Album Description Historic recordings 1954-1967. The goal of this project, and its earlier companion CD, is to preserve a legacy of impeccable artistry, musicianship, and teaching. Arnold Jacobs was more than a teacher. He was a master performer--an artist in every sense of the word--who taught musicianship at such an elevated level that he made it simple and pure. In so doing, he influenced the careers of the world's finest tubists and countless other wind players in the twentieth century. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsTruly, a legacy. John H. Havener, Jr. | Billings, MT | 03/11/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Arnold Jacobs was, and still remains the model for all modern tuba/low brass players. His breathing theory and extensive work in the science of moving air is presented in the book ALSO SPRACH ARNOLD JACOBS, compiled by Bruce Nelson. The music and the 'mini'-lessons on the CD are priceless. Solos played in my own childhood are included, plus orchestral examples. One fine recording." Jacobs CD review from Chicago Tribune CSO Fan | Midwest USA | 01/15/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "CHICAGO TRIBUNE RECORDINGS `Portrait of an Artist'; `Legacy of an Artist' Arnold Jacobs, tuba; various other musicians and Chicago Symphony Orchestra (Summit Records, two separate CDs) John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune Music Critic Published January 12, 2007 Arnold Jacobs served as principal tuba of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for 44 years, retiring in 1988, 10 years before his death. Revered as a peerless artist, inspiring teacher and wise mentor to generations of orchestral wind and brass players, he was an integral part of the special tradition of brass playing that has made the CSO world-famous. Indeed, it is often said that with trumpeter Adolph Herseth on the top and Jacobs at the bottom of the CSO brass choir, its playing could not have been anything less than perfect. Summit has gathered on a pair of discs a detailed aural biography of Jacobs that pays loving tribute to a great musician of whom conductor Josef Krips once exclaimed, "My God, he plays the tuba like it was a violin!" The tracks include private recordings from Jacobs' home studio and tuba solos from various CSO recordings to chamber and orchestral works that spotlight Jacobs' extraordinary musicianship and virtuosity. These are interspersed with bits of pedagogical and human wisdom Jacobs passed on to his many students. ("Become a singer in your brain" is a typical example.) Listen to Jacobs playing Richard Strauss' Horn Concerto No. 1 on the tuba, in a live 1962 performance with wind band accompaniment, and you would swear no hornplayer could do it better. Or be astounded by how brilliantly he could articulate the manic Gypsy flourishes of Monti's "Czardas," just like the Heifetzes to whom Krips compared him. The booklets include informative essays; a respectful appreciation by Gene Pokorny, Jacobs' successor at the CSO; encomia by other Chicago musicians; a bibliography and discography. A classy "time capsule" indeed. I cannot imagine an orchestral musician who will not learn from and be moved by the words and wisdom packed onto these CDs, but there is much here to commend them to ordinary music lovers as well. " Arnold Jacobs review Damon Chu | Scottsdale, AZ USA | 04/28/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Arnold Jacobs is one of the legendary tubists of all time. Anyone studying brass instruments has heard of him and his playing in the legendary Chicago Symphony low brass section. I never got to hear him play in person and luckily there are two CDs that keep his playing alive for future generations."
