0 - Default Title
Description
Grammy Award-winning clarinetist Todd Levy, who holds the principal chairs with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Santa Fe Opera, presents Rhapsodie, an astonishing array of classic 20th-century works for his instrument. The rich pallette of colors and immense versatility of the clarinet is on full display in impressionistic Debussy and Ravel, Cubanisto-style Bernstein, pastoral Finzi, the folk idioms of Bartok, klezmer inspiration by Béla Kovács, blues-inflected Libby Larsen and genrebending Paquito D'Rivera. Todd's technical wizardry is flawless throughout and is matched by his collaborators pianists Jeannie Wu and Elena Abend, and guitarist Rene Izquierd.
Personnel: Todd Levy (clarinet), Jeannie Yu (piano), Elena Abend, Rene Izquierd (guitar)
Critical acclaim for Todd Levy:
"It takes but a single solo at a Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concert to fall under the spell of principal clarinetist Todd Levy's fluid tone and expressive phrasing. In his new CD, Brahms/Schumann...the A label has given the classical music world compelling evidence of an artistic treasure that belongs to Milwaukee." - Milwaukee Magazine
"Levy plays to perfection." - Classic FM Magazine
"A rich tone and burnished chalumeau register mark Levy's hearty playing." - Audiophile Audition
