Also available
on the Music & Arts label by the ZASLAV DUO:
CD-4902(1) - Ernest
Bloch: Music for Viola and Piano
" the most comprehensive Bloch viola CD ...the performances
are magnificent. Bernard Zaslav, who plays the ex-Villa, ex-Hobday
1781 J.B. Guadagnini, has been a leading member of the US viola
fraternity for close on 50 years. He and his wife have been performing
together in public since 1962 and I already treasure their interpretations
of Franck, Milhaud and Brahms. The great 1919 Suite is delivered
with immense breadth and power..This Bloch program will go up on
the shelf next to them. Recommended!"
- The STRAD
CD-4953(1) - Dvorak's
Viola - 13 works of Antonin Dvorak , originally
written for violin, cello or voice. Transcribed for Viola and Piano
by B. Zaslav
"Bernard Zaslav has transcribed an entire programme of
delightful music for the viola. The Zaslavs play well throughout..There
is much enjoyable listening to be had from this disc..and the presentation
is admirable."
- The STRAD
CD-626(1) - Three
Romantic Viola Sonatas - Brahms: Sonatas
Op.120, Nos.1 & 2, and Franck: Sonata
in A for violin and Piano (Arr. for viola and piano by B. Zaslav)
"The Zaslav Duo has made what is the definitive recording
of these two sonatas (Brahms Op.120). The viola soars effortlessly
in the long canzones wonderfully backed by the piano. All the nooks
and crannies of these works have been mastered and explored from
all aspects of sound and rhythm."
- The AMERICAN STRING TEACHER
"..gorgeous tone, affectionate commitment , and enlivening
give-and-take.The sound itself is exceptionally rich and well balanced."
- "Recording of Special Merit" - STEREO
REVIEW
"If I needed one word to sum up the performances of the
Zaslav Duo here, it would be "loving". Ensemble is immaculate
down to the last semiquaver.A highly recommended disc."
- The STRAD
I listened to the Franck twice and found it to be so beautiful,
sensitive and technically perfect that I can't honestly think of
a more musical performance on records. Thank you for playing so
wonderfully and my deepest appreciation. I love you!!
- Letter from JOSEF GINGOLD

Stanford String Quartets as well as the Zaslav Duo, Mr.
Zaslav has recorded 113 chamber works for the Teldec, Orfeo, Columbia,
