Remembering David Soyer

By Walter Parker | December 30, 2010

Among the musicians we lost in 2010 was David Soyer, cellist of the Guarneri Quartet and regular participant at the Marlboro Music Festival. We’ll remember him as we listen to the Guarneri’s recording of Dvorak’s American Quartet.

Also today, Mozart’s Solemn Vespers and music of American writer and composer Paul Bowles, who was born 100 years ago today.
