Complete Wind Concertos

These completely characteristic but relatively unknown concertos really need to be taken out and given an airing more frequently. The Clarinet Concerto is a particularly fine work-composed for Benny Goodman, believe it or not. The famous English virtuoso Denis Brain recorded the Horn Concerto, though heaven knows it's time we had a new performance in better sound. The other two concertos hark back to Hindemith's Kammermusik days, when he wrote neo- Baroque concertos based on the works of Bach. These pieces have a more mellow style typical of the mature composer, and may well become even more popular. A highly interesting and necessary program. --David Hurwitz
