Ian Mitchell is a leading performer on all members of the clarinet family and has made recordings with most of them. He has also led Gemini for many years, bringing the ensemble to the top of the tree especially in contemporary chamber music. This album of works for clarinet and strings arose from a prize in the 1993 Prudential Awards, which provided initial funding to record three major but neglected works, by Cyril Scott, Howard Skempton and Rebecca Clarke, together with more recent pieces by Sadie Harrison and Nicola LeFanu and jazz legend Tony Coe. This is not a clarinet feature disc however, but a program of fine works involving that instrument 'in the mix'. Added to the album as a bonus is Skempton's Gemini Dances which adds flute, piano and percussion. Gemini has a very strong following for both recordings and concerts, and since it's formation in 1974 has developed a reputation for the highest levels of musicianship and immense support for contemporary composers.

If you are hiking deep in the forests of Sweden, somewhere north of Uppsala, and strange and fanciful sounds emerge from behind the next tree... then it isn't necessarily a moose! It isn't possible for a solo debut CD to be more colorful and bursting with life as this Lars Karlin, the winner of the German Music Competition, presents himself for the first time on Genuin truly at the center of the action. Together with his musical friends he plays his way through the Nordic compositional landscape and a diverse array of styles romanticism and classicism, jazz and multiphonics.
