New York Magazine Features The Great Kat!

“The Great Kat. The High Priestess of Guitar Shred. She can play ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ at 300 beats per minute! Wagner’s War, a no-holds-barred response to September 11, includes a cover of that tender Nazi classic ‘Flight of the Valkyries.’  Her followers (the ‘Kat slaves’) think she’s just the soldier America needs. Ranked among ‘The Ten Fastest Shredders of All Time.’ Totally spoiling her crazy-lady rep: She studied classical violin at Juilliard.”

Smithsonian Folkways FW03347CCD Charles Ives The Sonatas for Violin and Piano Vol. 2 $29.96 Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian Institution the national museum of the United States. We are dedicated to supporting cultural diversity and increased understanding among peoples through the documentation preservation and dissemination of sound. We believe that musical and cultural diversity contributes to the vitality and quality of life throughout the world. Through the dissemination of audio recordings and educational materials we seek to strengthen people s engagement with their own cultural heritage and to enhance their awareness and appreciation of the cultural heritage of others. . Charles Ives has grown into one of the most important American classical composers of international distinction but it wasn’t always like this: Ives was frustrated by indifferent audiences and ambivalent critics throughout his entire career and most of his life. Violinist Paul Zukofsky and pianist Gilbert Kalish perform Sonatas No. 3 and No. 4. Evidently the range of compositional devices Ives usedpolytonality atonality complex multirhythms tone clusters twelvetone rows metrical modulation and microtonality”disturbed or bewildered nearly all of [Ives'] contemporaries.” But the sonatas present some of the most appealing and listenable material Ives produced.
