Paul Kramer has been the National Mandolin Champion and has worked with a number of bands for whom he played fiddle, mandolin, and guitar; he has a star-studded history of playing alongside the likes of Pam Tillis, Rhett Atkins, Lorrie Morgan, Lionel Cartwright, and many others. On this instructional Paul has isolated 10 different styles of country guitar and written representative solos to demonstrate them; styles included are chicken pickin`, Nashville, double-stop, bluegrass, banjo, steel guitar, rockabilly, melody style and country rock. Paul teaches each of these styles as well as the reasons behind his choices while writing the pieces, and he also covers such material as anticipating chord changes, amp and effects setup, and building to a climax.

Great conductor Gunter Wand, shown here in the final phase of his career, developed a particular affinity for Bruckner; he understood and channeled the original spirit of that composer`s work in a way that few others ever have. In this program, Wand conducts the NDR Sinfonieorchester in live performances at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival. Included here are Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 5, 6, and 8, as well as Haydn`s rarely-heard Symphony No. 76 and Schubert`s
