Hindemith's post-war Clarinet Concerto was commissioned by Benny Goodman and showcases the composer's distinctive harmonies and rhythmic bounce. Dedicated to Eddy Vanoosthuyse, Jan Van der Roost's Clarinet Concerto, which here receives its premiere recording, reveals a work that balances the instrument's serious and mysterious side against its acrobatic virtuosity. Richard Strauss composed his Romanze at the age of fifteen, his ambitious precocity creating music of great charm and elegance. Sergio Rosales, hailed as one of one of Venezuela's foremost 'El Sistema' conductors, conducts the Central Aichi Symphony Orchestra.
