This is an album by French composer Fabien TehericsenFind albums by this artist, performed by the German WDR OrchestraFind albums by this artist, conducted by the composer, and French clarinetist Louis SclavisFind albums by this artist. The album presents an eight-part concerto for clarinet and orchestra, where the orchestral parts are strictly composed, while the solo clarinet parts are completely improvised.
The music is an amalgam of contemporary Classical form and Jazz / Improvised Music, one of the very few of its kind in scope and complexity, and as such certainly of great interest to the serious music connoisseurs, who like innovative experimentation of this kind.
Sclavis, who plays many different clarinets, including the bass clarinet, proves his brilliant technique and improvising abilities, which place him among the top European improvisers. His extensive recording legacy includes dozens of excellent albums, all certainly worthy of exploring.
Overall, this is a wonderful Jazz-Classical Fusion album, full of sublime improvised parts and excellent orchestral music, which, albeit not easy, is certainly worthy of an honorable place in any serious record collection.
