Waxman Carmen Fantasy
Does anyone know where to find the Waxman Carmen Fantasy, or have a copy they'd be willing to trade for something?

I am in the process of getting it, and may be able to email it to you in a couple of weeks.
I like Stern's recording of this one under the composer's baton.
The parts are available only as rentals, since the family still owns the "copyright" rights.
You can buy the music from John Waxman:
Fidelio Music Publishing Company
39 Danbury Avenue Westport, CT 06880
Phone: 203-227-5709
I was referring to solo & orchestral parts.

Hi,
I have two copies of the Waxman. And you are welcome to one if you have something you want to trade me. I will never play that piece so I would like someone who wants it to get it and trade me for something that I don't have. Let me know.

Hi,Leo, if you want to trade for sheet music I would accept because I have some sheets.If you are interested send me an e-mail.
If you want a nice recording try kogan's recording. It is amazing. I can't explain it. you have to listen it. It is CD from label arlecchino Leonid Kogan's legacy vol 3 or vol 22.you can listen the sample http://www.amazon.com/Leonid-Kogan-Legacy-Orchestral-Encores/dp/B000003LQF/sr=8-1/qid=1160662808/ref=sr_1_1/104-0252137-5343954?ie=UTF8&s=music
But it is difficult to find them. I find one guy and he sold all the cds from arleccino but he sold them 45 dollars for cd. it was expensive. if you interesting i can give you his e-mail.
if not you can find waxman's carmen with korsakov. it is not very famous violinist but he is very good.he was kogan's student.
Vengerov and heifetz also played this fantasy.
I like the Nadja recording on the cd Humoresque. It's phenomenal.
I've got a Glenn Dicterow video performance with his NY Phil that I taped off public television nearly 20 years ago. Margaret Pardee was in the audience for this performance and she RAVED about it afterwards.
Afterwards, Dicterow was interviewed by Walter Cronkite. He called this work a "white knuckler" and said that it was harder than the Bizet version.
Lara St. John's recording on her "Gypsy" CD is pretty great too, IMHO. (she plays a 1-year-old violin for that recording)
Kevin - Harder than the "Bizet" version? :)
I don't know harder or not-- I imagine they're both beyond me-- I haven't looked. But listening, I like the Waxman better!
Mattias,
I agree totally :):))
Listen and watch the Waxman Carman Fantasy played by Kogan from an old Soviet TV program here:

Yes, I can compare Kogan's recording with nobody's, he plays so virtusily and so bright, and it is very interesting that he plays his own version, and he does not follow the original, you can check this in the cadenzas (especially the first), and I really prefer kogan's view of it. This has a very interesting story, my teacher told my that Kogan wrote the solo part himself while listening to his idol’s performance of this piece: Heifetz! It was too hard to get a score of a new composed work in the Soviet Union, so Kogan wrote it himself, and somebody wrote the orchestra part relying on the recording. Nobody can be sure, but this could explain the different Kogan’s interpretation of this piece.
Actually I read somewhere that till now this piece was not published legally, this means that it has no copyright or something, has any body heard about this?
Does anyone have a copy of the Kogan rendition of the piece?
The sheet music of Kogan's version. I already have the CD, but I would really like to learn to play it just like he does. Thanks!
I don't think it is published. I heard someone who performed kogan's version at Bowdoin. He said that he had copied it down by listening to the recording.
waxman: has any connection with wax museum?
does anyone have a copy of the orchestral score of this?

Anyone else find $125 a little steep for a ten-minute piece?
Many libraries carry it.
