My new set of the Jeanjean etudes and the Cavallini caprices arrived yesterday: the music itself & masterful performances of these studies by Charles Neidich on CD's. The man has made these pieces shine with musicality: artistic, subtle, & virtuoso. Great dynamic range, & nuanced vibrato at dramatic/emotional moments. Wonderful operatic style.
I wish this sort of thing was available when I started to play in the 70's! A great pedagogical tool.

yuck. I think CDs and recordings have contributed to the demise of classical musicians. Students do not study music, they listen to CDs to teach them how to play whatever it is they are working on.
Etudes help develop personal musicianship, because they are generally shorter COMPLETE works. Making an etude a COMPLETE musical work from beginning to end, and everything in the middle, takes a lot of thought, study, analysis, and feeling.
No need for that crap any more-just get a recording of Charlie playing them, and do what he does.

Considering the fact that modern recording and home audio systems can be amazingly accurate to reproduce sound, I would have to agree- in a sense.
On one hand, the recordings have made leaving the home to hear live music unnecessary, but they have also (maybe) created a broader audience. None of us have heard every song on the radio, but if someone is going through the stations and happens to hear some music that they had not yet heard before, they might like it- it could be classical, but the example would be the same for any kind of music.
There are a few pop songs that I like, but I was not searching for them the first time I heard them.

Just got my copies of the Jean Jean and the Cavallini. Haven't listened to the CD's yet. One question, what is the clarinet that he on the cover. It has some interesting keywork if it's the same as on his web site.
