Скачать или смотреть Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: Clarinet Quintet in F# Minor — Zelter String Quartet & Max Opferkuch (2023)

Recorded 9/15/2023 in Los Angeles.

Nearly two years ago, I recorded Coleridge-Taylor's incredible and rarely-performed Clarinet Quintet alongside my friends in the Zelter String Quartet: Gallia Kastner, Kyle Gilner, Carson Rick, and Allan Hon. Then life happened, we all got busier, and the recording sat untouched for some time. We've finally finished mixing and editing with our fantastic recording engineer Francesco Perlangeli and with the help of clarinetist Andrea Caputo, and this is the result! The audio should be available on streaming platforms before long.

We recorded this over the course of a morning, and while we made several takes, it's not quite a spotless, high-polish studio recording. Nevertheless it was a meaningful performance to me — Coleridge-Taylor's Quintet has been largely overlooked in the 130 years since it was written, and I'm honored to have contributed in some small way to the fairly limited number of reference recordings of this repertoire.
