Notes & Reviews:

The clarinet works on this disc offer a welcome variety of styles. Although the Wolf and Bavicchi works are for string orchestra accompaniment, Wolf wrote his work reflecting the harmonic, rhythmic and melodic traits of Brazil within a neo-classical framework. Bavicchi, on the other hand, wrote his piece in a good "old-fashioned" dissonant style, reflecting the more expressionistic influences found in much American music of the 1950s. A little-known work by a famous 20th century composer, the Hindemith 'Clarinet Concerto' was written for Benny Goodman but avoids overt jazz connections, instead bearing a closer resemblance to his more serious pieces such as the 'Violin Concerto' and 'Symphony in E-flat.'
