More than 50 Audio Recordings Available
We have more than 50 audios in our archives. Some are interviews that Igor Kipnis conducted with colleagues and students of his father Alexander Kipnis, including interviews with famous musicians like Erich Leinsdorf and Rose Bampton. These files are too large to offer as downloads from this website. However if you email us, we will be pleased to send you a list these interviews we can share with you from our Google drive. We will ask a few questions about how you will use these materials, and you must agree not to use any of these recordings for commercial use or reproduction of any kind.
