Reviews and Quotes
"Karl
is an outstanding talent on the euphonium. He
studied with me at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester,
something of a mecca for UK brass players, and was a dedicated and highly
talented
student. He has a full vibrant tone and advanced musicality. His solo
playing was first class and I can recommend Karl's playing to anyone."
-Steven Mead, Professional Soloist, Senior Tutor in Euphonium, Royal Northern College of Music.
"Karl's solo euphonium playing is among the best I've ever witnessed. His musicianship, technique and artistry are of the highest order; our audience was dazzled and captivated by his performance of the Wilby Concerto with the Metropolitan Winds of Dallas this past season (2004-2005)."
-Randol A. Bass, Composer, Arranger, Musical Director, Metropolitan Winds
"Karl possesses an unusual talent as his near-perfect technique is not compromised at the expense of tone quality. He has tremendous potential for future success as a euphonium soloist and I would highly recommend him for any professional work."
-Barry K. Knezek M.D. Director of Development - Lone Star Wind Orchestra
Karl Krause premiered my Air No. 6 at the TRTEC in
Lubbock. I was genuinely awed by the graceful approach
which both he and Susan
Wass
performed this work. I
look forward to hearing Karl again. He's a listener's
performer."
-Kenneth D. Friedrich, Composer
