The ICA recently came into possession of a collection of historical recordings on tape of past Denver Clarinet Clinic and ClarinetFest® events. These events were recorded by Frank Stachow.
With the financial support of Keith Koons, Alan Stanek, Gerry Errante, and Jessica Harrie, along with the support of Frank’s son Andy Stachow, the ICA has started the process of remastering these tapes. These remasters are the result of considerable work on very old tapes. Even so, the results are basic remastered audio files, and have not had the extensive higher level editing one might find on a commercial CD. We received three remastered recordings, which you can listen to below, but we have many more tapes to remaster.
Due to the expensive nature of this process, additional financial support is needed for the ICA to fully preserve these recordings.
If you would like to support this project, please consider donating to the newly launched Historical Recording Fund. Click the button below to make a tax deductible donation to this project.
