Ensemble ComposersNotes & Reviews:
The Palisades Virtuosi continue their commendable series of commissioning new works from outstanding American composers for their trio's instrumentation of flute, clarinet and piano. This fourth volume brings the total to almost 50 new works the ensemble has added to the repertoire. Two of the works on this recording have the added attraction of the formidable Marni Nixon joining the group to narrate the poetry in the Unitarian Hymnal that forms the background for Gwyneth Walker's work and the information about crows that precedes each movement of Amanda Harberg's Birding in the Palisades. Palisades Virtuosi consists of the virtuoso musicians Margaret Swinchoski, flute, Donald Mokrynski, clarinet and Ron Levy, piano. The ensemble has received rave reviews for its previous three releases on Albany Records.
American Record Guide, November/December 2012
The Palisades Virtuosi, a trio of clarinet, flute, and piano, present another program of new music for small ensemble with a tonal concentration. Trio by Ryan Francis is joyfully full sounding and plods along behind the force of its ostinato.
Recording information: Bennett Studios, Englewood, NJ (04/2011-07/2011).
