在这张专辑中，盖瑞．卡尔以其精湛的技巧与优美的音色，演奏一些极为动听的古典小品及耳熟能详的通俗曲目，加上日本知名发烧录音师高浪初郎以德律风根真空管拾音器录制，使其琴声更美艳，绝对是张爱乐人或发烧友不能错过，值得收藏的专辑。

Gary Karr is one of the most popular double bass players known to audiophiles. He has many recordings and this one being a collection of all the favorite tracks is a good one to start with. His “Amati Double Bass” was the only one in the whole world. You can virtually smelt the fusion between the strings. If you like this selection, you can go on to collect the rest of his recordings. All his recordings were done at the same high standard.

Gary Karr (born November 20, 1941), is an American classical double bass virtuoso and teacher.

Gary acclaimed as "the world's leading solo bassist" (Time Magazine), is, in fact, the first solo doublebassist in history to make that pursuit a full-time career. It is a career that adds new lustre to his already lustrous 1611 Amati doublebass which was given to him by the widow of Serge Koussevitzky.

Since his debut with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic in 1962, Karr has performed as soloist on six continents with orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Montreal Symphony, Simon Bolivar Orchestra (Caracas, Venezuela), Jerusalem Symphony, Oslo Philharmonic, Zurich Chamber Orchestra, and with all the major orchestras of Australia.

On Italian cable, three Karr doublebass recitals reached 20 million classical music lovers. The numerous CDs that Gary Karr has recorded and released in Japan are "top of the recording charts" favorites in the Far East. The BBC has featured two video films of Karr, one an illumination of his life and music (Amazing Bass) and one a series for children. On his third recording with the London Symphony Orchestra, Karr performed the Concerto for Bass by John Downey. CBS Sunday Morning celebrated Gary Karr's career and the University of Wisconsin has released a video demonstrating his instructional approach to the doublebass (BASSically Karr) in addition to a special video concert for children (Karrtunes).

One of Karr's proudest achievements is the Bronze Medal he received from the Rosa Ponselle Foundation which recognizes him as an outstanding lyrical musician. Gary is the proud holder of the 1997 Artist/Teacher of the Year Award from the American String Teacher's Association (ASTA). He also holds the Distinguished Achievement Award (1995) from the International Society of Bassists (ISB). Gary Karr participated in the Bi-Annual Rainforest Concert in Carnegie Hall with fellow-bassist Sting, Stevie Wonder and others in 1997. In 1999 a new book by Claude Kenneson, entitled Musical Prodigies -- Perilous Journeys, Remarkable Lives was released by Amadeus Press, which includes a passage describing Karr's early love affair with the doublebass.

In June 2001, Gary Karr played his farewell public concert as part of the International Society of Bassists 2001 Convention in Indianapolis. A large audience that included eight hundred bassists from twenty-seven different countries attended this event. At the close of this recital with his pianist, Harmon Lewis, Karr was given the ISB's Distinguished Teacher Award. He was also presented with a very special gift from more than two hundred of his colleagues and fans…a newly developed rose named in his honor to commemorate his forty years on the international concert stage.

美国的时代杂志曾经赞扬盖瑞卡尔为居世界领导地位之低音提琴独奏家(the world’s leading solo bassist)，不仅如此，盖瑞卡尔也是史上第一位将低音提琴独奏作为全职的低音提琴独奏家，而盖瑞卡尔所拥有由库赛夫斯基遗孀所致赠的1611年的低音提琴Amati使得盖瑞卡尔的音乐成就更蔚为传奇。

1962年，盖瑞卡尔在纽约卡内基音乐厅由伯恩斯坦指挥纽约爱乐下首演，他精湛的演奏由电视现场转播，从此一炮而红，展开独奏家的演奏生涯，在他的一生中，纽约的首演是他的重大转捩点。从此他以独奏家身分走遍六大洲，与许多著名乐团合作演出，如纽约爱乐、芝加哥交响乐团、伦敦爱乐、伦敦交响乐团、巴黎爱乐、蒙特娄交响乐团、多伦多交响乐团、委内瑞拉卡拉卡斯的西蒙玻利瓦乐团、耶路撒冷交响乐团、奥斯陆爱乐、苏黎世室内乐团、香港爱乐、台湾的国家音乐厅交响乐团、以及澳洲的各大交响乐团等。

盖瑞卡尔于低音提琴的成就是一项传奇中的传奇。义大利的有线电视曾转播三场卡尔的低音提琴独奏会给两千万古典音乐爱好者欣赏，而卡尔在日本由King唱片所发行的许多录音，在亚洲地区长久以来一直是排行榜上的常客。美国的CBS曾为盖瑞卡尔录制Camara Three专辑于Bell Telephone Hour节目中播出；在加拿大，CBC电视台制作了Gary Karr and his friend系列节目；在英国的Channel 4电视台也曾录制一系列的儿童节目Bass is Beautiful；在1985年英国BBC制作了两集影片，一个是介绍卡尔的音乐及生活"Amazing Bass"，另一个是为儿童所作的专辑；在卡尔与伦敦交响乐团的第三张录音中，录制了英国作曲家约翰道尼的低音提琴协奏曲；美国CBS的Sunday Morning节目曾专题介绍卡尔的成就；威斯康辛大学亦发行了一卷介绍盖瑞卡尔于低音提琴的独到见解BASSically Karr和一卷特别的儿童音乐会Karrtunes。这些是盖瑞卡尔众多成就的一小部份。盖瑞卡尔最自豪的一项成就是由名女高音罗莎朋赛儿基金会(Rosa Poselle Foundation)所颁发的金牌奖，这证明盖瑞卡尔不仅是一位低音提琴家，他的音乐的歌唱性令他获得这个专属于声乐家的成就。

盖瑞卡尔为了回报当年库赛夫斯基遗孀赠与他1611年的Amati名琴，盖瑞卡尔于1984年成立了卡尔低音提琴基金会，这个非营利的机构提供乐器给赢得比赛的优秀的低音提琴家们，并且委托许多作曲家创作低音提琴独奏曲目，这并包括盖瑞卡尔私人的乐谱收集以及名琴中的名琴─1611年的Amati。
