David Post: Concertino á Cinque
9576
This new release presents two major works by the American composer, David Post, his Concertino á Cinque for clarinet and string quartet, and his Piano Quintet for piano and string quartet, both works heard in virtuosic performances by the Martinu Quartet, with clarinetist Ludmila Peterková and pianist Jan Dušek. Music Web International described Post's music as "immediately and obviously excellent”, and called him “a remarkable composer—not only inventive and technically capable but also a superb communicator.”
"Post writes with the utmost clarity and transparency. I found it a profoundly moving experience. Clarinetist Ludmila Peterková gives a virtuoso performance in every respect...Pianist Jan Dušek is both fervent and incisive in the Quintet. The Martinů Quartet is a model of tonal beauty, textural clarity and balance, and arresting fervor. The recorded sound is superb. A marvelous disc." - Five Stars, Ken Meltzer, Fanfare
