About this product
Ian Mitchell is a leading performer on all members of the clarinet family and has made recordings with most of them. Here, a range of contemporary pieces (and one Romantic) demonstrate the range and mellifluousness of the bass clarinet, in music of several styles from the jazz-influenced to vocal and ensemble pieces. Works by leading American and British composers and some who deserve wider recognition based on the fine pieces presented here are featured. Included is a suite by William O. Smith, better known as jazz legend Bill Smith, for two bass clarinets. Ian Mitchell has for many years also led the Gemini ensemble, which is very highly regarded in the UK for it's work in modern music. Guest appearances from Friends complete a fine line up of expert musicians.

Grace Williams (19 February 1906 - 10 February 1977) was a Welsh composer. Born in the coastal town of Barry, near Cardiff, Grace learned piano and violin and developed her musical skills early. She won the Morfydd Owen scholarship to Cardiff University in 1923 where she studied under Professor David Evans and in 1926 she proceeded to the Royal College of Music, London, where she was taught by Gordon Jacob and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Williams is regarded by many as one of Wales finest composers. She wrote two symphonies, the earlier being the first symphony ever composed by a Welsh composer, a mass, one opera, numerous other pieces for orchestras and chamber ensemble, as well as accomplished vocal works. She was also the first British woman to score a feature film, with Blue Scar in 1949. Her chamber music, recorded here for the first time, spans 40 years.
