Par TOMASI HENRI. Published in 1953, the Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra was composed by the French composer, conductor and winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1927, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971). This concerto was dedicated to Ulysse Delécluse (1907-1995), a French Clarinettist known for his transcription of 'Quinze études' by J. S. Bach for the clarinet. Each of its three movements were chosen to be the examination pieces at the Paris Conservatoire, the first movement for the Examination Solo in 1953 and the second and third for the Contest Solo in 1966. This concerto begins with an unconventional start, the clarinet playing on its own and being joined later by the orchestra. It also containssome unusual material such as polychords and dissonances through the piece. Notes on this concerto by Henri Tomasi himself were written in 1957, describing the importance of the improvisation for the principal topic./ Répertoire / Clarinette et Piano

Commandé pour les célébrations de 1997 de l'année de Ninian, un des pères fondateurs du christianisme en Ecosse. On croyait que Saint Ninian, premier évêque de Whithorn, sont arrivés en Galloway dans le sud-ouest du pays en 397 AD, près de deux siècles avant l'atterrissage sur Iona St Columba. Les trois mouvements sont basés sur trois de la soi-disant Miracles de Ninian, ' le reiver et le taureau ', ' Le rêve de Pectgils ' et ' Une vision mystique de l'enfant-Jésus '. Ces contes étranges et évocateurs sur le saint et ses disciples ont été documentés dans un poème Latin écrit quelques siècles après sa mort. En plus d'être un concerto, le travail est donc également une collection de ton-tableaux qui donnent une impression de ces contes antiques. Un concerto vibrant et accessible qui offre un équilibre satisfaisant entre la profondeur de l'expression et affichage technique. / Clarinette Et Orchestre
