 The Nielsen Concerto and Aage Oxenvad
Carl Nielsen was born the son of a poor house painter and village musician.
Nielsen noted that the clarinet "can be at once warm-hearted and completely hysterical, gentle as balm and screaming as a streetcar on poorly lubricated rails".
That Nielsen was thinking in two voices here is confirmed by the notation used in MS I. In the MS, the first two notes have the stems down, the next two have stems up, the next two down, etc. etc.

Nielsen's Violin Concerto fits the showy style of the 19th century without the paucity of invention that so easily threatens a blend of music and pyrotechnics.
Nielsen trapped and partnered these characteristics in a multi-sectioned work exhuding a powerful charisma.
The flute concerto has its own qualities of lyricism plus an assertive trombone clowning when least expected, which is a rough-and-tumble gesture in total contrast to the soloist's brilliant flight.

 The Concertos (continued)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The flute concerto is the first of the five concertos which Nielsen planned to write for the Danish woodwind players for whom he had been so happy to write the wind quintet in 1922.
Nielsen had composed assiduously during his stay in Italy that summer and he had repeatedly sent pages of the piece to Gilbert Jespersen.
At the end of September, though, Nielsen suffered from a stomach complaint which prevented him from working, so he was compelled to round off the the closing movement with a provisional ending.

 Carl Nielsen
Carl Nielsen is perhaps Denmark’s most notable Twentieth Century musical figure, (after Victor Borge, of course.) Although revered in his native land, it wasn’t until the 1960s when his works were championed and recorded by the likes of Leonard Bernstein and Eugene Ormandy that Nielsen’s music gained the international recognition that it holds today.
Nielsen was inspired to compose a wind quintet, after hearing a performance by the Copenhagen Wind Quintet at a friend’s house in the autumn of 1921.
Nielsen shows great imagination and ingenuity in conjuring a surprising variety of sonorities and blends from the wind quintet; few would suppose from this work that one of the chief difficulties of this combination is the fact that the five instruments do not blend."

 classical music - andante - richard stoltzman, superstar of the single reed
This is not much of a problem in the Nielsen and the Lutoslwaski, with their relatively transparent textures, but it does force the listener to work a bit to hear details of the orchestration in the more thickly-scored Prokofiev.
Jeffrey Nytch's concerto (written in 1994) features leaping melodies in the punchy first movement, a contemplative central section and a short, vigorous finale that pits a squealing soloist against an agitated orchestra.
Marie Barker Nelson's "Culinary" Concerto (1998) is in four movements whose cheeky titles — "Brothy Frothy," "Sweet and Sour," "Piquant" and "Presto Zesto" — accurately describe their varied character (even though they don't really make you think of food).

One of the most outstanding clarinet soloists of our times, Martin Fröst, is famous for his musical sensitivity and brilliant technique but his uniqueness lies in his stage persona - the way he combines choreography, mime and musical virtuosity.
The Clarinet Concerto by the Swedish composer Anders Hillborg is a theatrical concert-show that combines choreography, light effects and masterful clarinet solos.
This concerto was written especially for Martin Fröst and is performed here in Estonia for the very first time.

 Diana Burrell - Clarinet Concerto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
There is none of Nielsen’s very personal idiom in my music, but like him (although sadly he didn’t accomplish it), I intend to write concertos for all 5 instruments of the wind quintet.
At times, the music revisits landmarks heard earlier, a ‘clipped’ clarinet melody, this time heard in the cellos and basses as well, a sudden burst of the individual solos passage, as if a window into another world opens and closes again briefly, and finally the brass and sanctus bells fanfares from the first part.
The thoughtful, rather ‘lost’-sounding clarinet melody heard afterwards, serves as a gentle respite before the final passage - fast scales from the bottom register of the clarinet to its extreme high sounds, and stern, repeated notes from the orchestra which finish the work.

Almost all the composers who have written for clarinet and orchestra have had a particular virtuoso in mind to play the solo part.
For Mozart, it was his friend Anton Stadler; for Nielsen, Aage Oxenvad of the Copenhagen Wind Quintet; for Stravinsky, Woody Herman; and for Copland, Benny Goodman.
The three new concertos so brilliantly performed by Richard Stoltzman on the present recording follow in this great tradition: they were written for and inspired by Stoltzman, with his unsurpassed technical finesse, versatility, and fluidly expressive lyricism in mind.

 Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, Rolf Wallin
Rolf Wallin : Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra
This concerto is in fact two concertos, cut in pieces and spliced squarely into each other, the soloist now in this world - and now in the other.
Wallin cross-cuts music of uneasy lyricism with explosions of skinhead energy, reflecting, he says, the clarinet’s dual nature: it is equally at home in the silky domesticity of the Mozart concerto and the ‘rough, charging masculinity of Balkan folk music’.

As composer, bandmaster, and clarinettist in the relative cultural backwater of Stockholm until his death in 1838, Crusell was often forced to write his own music (including a few operas) and, as a man of wide culture and skilled linguist, translated German and Italian librettos into Swedish.
Crusell himself always said that the F minor concerto (1815) was his best and proudly dedicated it to the Tsar of Russia.
Bernhard Crusell's clarinet concertos are very much in the Weber vein, bright and frisky outer movements framing slow movements with a pre-Romantic sensibility.

Finzi, G. Concerto for clarinet and chamber orchestra.
The last-mentioned work (1928) in particular is an uncompromising yet rewarding work to know, the fruit of a mind that remained inquisitive and daring to the end.
Always seeming to display an uncanny understanding of each medium in which he worked, here too Nielsen seems to crawl inside of the instrument and stretch its capabilities; one soloist commented on the present work that the composer must have played the clarinet because of his tendency to find its most difficult notes.

The Nielsen concerti are a unique bunch, neither exactly very popular nor ignorable - Nielsen (below right) wrote of his Violin Concerto: "[it was to be] popular and showy without being superficial".
It is quite evident how Nielsen's intention fits into the style of the music: it can be hard to say that it is (entirely) melodic, but at the same time, one can hardly call this unapproachable.
Nielsen's son-in-law, Emil Telmányi, who conducted the premiere, called this "music from another planet".

Its difficult solo part and weighty developments may be at least partially to blame for this, however Adele Anthony's superb tone and assured virtuosity should convince even the most refractory listener of the work's multiple virtues.

Kjell-Inge Stevensson, Nielsen Clarinet Concerto (I think it was on Angel, with a boxed set of Nielsen symphonies and concertos; may have been reissued recently).
Sounder- Artie Shaw used several clarinet's durring his career, he preferred the Selmer, I think it was BT Signet, of course this is off the top of my head the name could be off, but I'm pretty sure that it at least began with BT.
But the clarinet isn't what gave him his sound, the insturment, reed, moutpeice and ligature combo should be looked at more as extra's that are needed to make a sound, the sound came from inside him.

His son is a clarinetist, so the affinities for the instrument, the setting of balances and musical interplay, just flow out, almost without the need to comment verbally.
I just recorded the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto, so the revaluation of old and new (or relatively new) pieces goes on indefinitely.

Stoltzman praises the way the sonata is moved from flute to clarinet and piano to small orchestra "but sounding exactly as if Prokofiev himself had scored it." The Dance Preludes and Nielsen Concerto share with the Prokofiev the inclusion of the folklore of their composer's respective countries.
The longest of the concertos - the Culinary Concerto - was highly individualized to Stoltzman since he is a Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef on the side.
