Rolf Wallin:
Concerto(1995)

for Clarinet and Orchestra


What is the True Sound of the Clarinet?
The soft, mild and pastoral sound of Mozart's immortal Concerto?
Or the rough, fremadstormende masculine sound of Balkan folk music?

This concerto is in fact two concertos, cut in pieces and spliced squarely into eachother, the soloist now in this world - and now in the other.
The Janus Face of the clarinet.
