About This Item
This fascinating and wide-ranging program of 20th century works for clarinet and piano begins with the jazz and folk-inspired Two Dances for Andrew Simon by the Romanian composer Serban Nichifor, followed by a selection of works by Joseph Horovitz with whom both artists worked closely prior to this recording. Based on folk-songs from Northern Poland, Lutoslawski's Dance Preludes are the composer's official 'farewell to folklore for an indefinite period,' and the recital concludes with Arnold Cooke's Hindemith-inspired Sonata and Malcolm Arnold's accessible and light-hearted Sonatina.
