Bruce  Duff ie  Interviews

 

The following is a list of the people I have interviewed.  <<<NOTE: The dates and indications listed here are the usage, not when the conversations took place.>>>  The names are not in alphabetical order.  There is a summary of symbols and abbreviations at the end, following the last entry.


When posting interviews, I try to send the link to my guest, or their family, or their agent.  With this message goes permission to use the link in any way they choose - which includes posting on their own website.  Some post the link, and a few reproduce the interview in part or its entirety.  Where it is known to me, I have mentioned this below.  I have also noted where permission has been granted to others to use the material in books, dissertations, publications, presentations, videos, etc.  There are many other instances where these interviews have been cited in books, articles, etc, and that pleases me.  There are also a few instances where I have been informed that an interview has been reproduced without my knowledge or permission... (!)  

The listings are grouped in this order:


Composer; Librettist; Conductor; Choral Director;

[INSTRUMENTALISTS]:  Piano; Piano Technician; Organ & Harpsichord; Harp; Accordion; Guitar; Lute; Balalaika; Violin; Viola; Cello; Gamba; Double Bass; String Quartet; Flute & Recorder; Oboe; Clarinet & Basset Horn; Bassoon; Contrabassoon; Saxophone; Harmonica; Trumpet & Baroque Trumpet; French Horn; Trombone; Tuba; Percussion; Instrument Builder & Electronics;

[SINGERS]:  Soprano; Mezzo & Contralto; Counter-Tenor; Tenor; Baritone; Bass-Baritone; Bass; Actor/Narrator;

[PRODUCTION PERSONNEL]:  Stage Director & Designer; Producer/Coach/Prompterince; Ballet Master; Captain of Supers; Backstage Personnel;

A few interviews have also been translated into Chinese and published... some with
permission, and others without!
There have been quotes from several interviews in various newspapers and magazines,
mostly in English, but a few in other languages.  I have noted those which I know of,
but there are probably others which have not (yet?) come to my attention.
Many of the Wikipedia bio-articles of my guests have links to my interviews as
'Further reading' or 'Outside links'.
