Copland: Music for The Theater, Music for Movies, Clarinet Concerto - The Orchestra of St. Luke's, William Blount, Dennis Russell Davies

The Orchestra of St. Luke's
William Blount, clarinet
Dennis Russell Davies, conductor

 

Title

In terms of sheer elegance the first movement of the Clarinet concerto - written for the legendary Benny Goodman - has seldom sounded so beguiling. Although Blount gives a low-key performance with an unshowy cadenza I found myself warming to his unassuming approach. --MusicWeb International
