This delightful and lighthearted album features virtuoso clarinetist David Shifrin performing Carl Nielsen's Clarinet Concerto in a newly arranged accompaniment for chamber orchestra. The dramatic work unfolds unpredictably in short, contrasting episodes that allow the soloist to explore a range of moods and colors. We are then treated to Nielsen's charming Six Humorous Bagatelles, written for his children. From the simply put "Hello, Hello" to the final "Musical Clock," these endearing pieces radiate good humor and adventure. Nielsen's early Fantasy Pieces with their varying moods and harmonic twists reveal Nielsen's romantic side, and his Serenata in Vano for wind quintet shows off Nielsen's affinity for wind instruments and his quirky, playful sensibility. "If there is a bel canto school of clarinet playing, Shifrin is surely it's finest exponent." (The Los Angeles Times)
