Immerse yourself in the diverse and captivating musical world of Alexandre Tansman with his 2011 album "Clarinet Concerto - Concertino." This collection showcases Tansman's remarkable versatility, blending sinuous melodies and chromatic explorations with a range of styles that defy easy categorization. The album opens with the Clarinet Concerto, which begins with a prelude reminiscent of Debussy's Pelléas, unfolding into a rich tapestry of tender and intricate melodic lines. Contrasting this is the Concertino for Oboe, Clarinet, and Strings, a work that dances through various musical styles, from playful dialogues to elegant elegies and lively scherzos. The Six Movements for Strings further demonstrate Tansman's compositional prowess, offering a journey through dynamic shifts from playful allegros to somber dirges and intricate fugues. Performed by the talented Jean-Marc Fessard on clarinet, Laurent Decker on oboe, and the Silesian Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Jacek Błaszczyk, this album is a testament to Tansman's enduring appeal and the timeless beauty of his music.
