From the back cover: Samuel Baron (b. 1925, Brooklyn, N.Y.) began his early musical training on the violin, but turned to the flute in his teens; he won scholarships at the Henry Street Settlement Music School, and fellowships in flute and conducting at the Juilliard Graduate School, where his teachers were George Barrere and Arthur Lora (flute), and Edgar Schenkman (conducting).

Mr. Baron was a founder and conductor of the New York Brass Ensemble (1947 - 1953), as well as a founder in 1949 of the New York Woodwind Quintet, of which he was flutist until 1969. He has been a participating player in various chamber ensembles, including the New York Chamber Soloists and the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, and since 1965 has been flutist with the Bach Aria Group. His teaching activities have included faculty membership at the Yale School of Music, the Mannes College of Music, the Juilliard School, and, since 1966, the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

As soloist, Mr. Baron has toured widely throughout the United States and abroad, and has given premieres of numerous works composed for him. Equally noted for his performance of Baroque, Classical, and new music for flute, he has recorded for CRI, Concert-Disc, Decca, Desto, Dover, Musical Heritage Society, Nonesuch, and Odyssey. This album marks Samuel Baron's first appearance as soloist on Nonesuch.
