Hank Zauderer is a violinist and an artist. He regularly hosts an evening classical music program at NPR radio station KUSP in Santa Cruz, California. In the past he was a member of several symphony orchestras and chamber music groups. In particular, he loves the study of great composers and feels that music composition so often reflects the key events that took place in a composer's life.

Viola Monologue
Music by 5 composers, as performed by Jitka Hosprova
The composers are: Hosprova, Borkovec, Klusak, Vycoakej, and Smolka
In this first CD, Ms. Hosprova introduces us to her performance on her viola. She chose to have no accompaniment; quite a gutsy move, really! She cannot hide anything; and her artistry, as well as her technical mastery of her instruments, are out there for all to see. I like her aggressiveness and her warm tone. See what she has to say about this new album:
