Robert DiLutis and the Mellifera Quartet give sparkling
performances of beloved classics such as Weber’s
Clarinet Quintet along with delightful but lesser-known
works such as Erland von Koch’s Monolog 3 for Solo
Clarinet and Heinrich Joseph Baermann’s Adagio for Clarinet and Strings (known for decades as “Wagner’s
Adagio.”)
DiLutis describes the Weber Quintet as “a dream come true for clarinetists,” and that description could well apply
to the other pieces on this album. Rounded out with consummate presentations of Glazunov’s Rêverie orientale,
Miklós Rózsa’s Sonatina and Willson Osborne’s Rhapsody for Clarinet, the selections on this album offer a superb
survey of works for solo clarinet and clarinet and strings.
Robert DiLutis founded the Riversdale Chamber Music Society six years ago, and the presentations at the historic
Riversdale House Museum have been captivating audiences ever since.
Grammy-winning choirmaster Ragnar Bohlin and his superb chamber choir Cappella SF deliver astonishing
performances that will not only thrill Bates’ growing legions of fans, but serve as an ideal introduction to Bates’ unique
electronics-enhanced music for those unfamiliar with his art.
