Dreamtracks
Music for clarinet by Australian Composers
Celebrating Australia's landscape, its spirit, its music and its composers, 'Dreamtracks' documents some of the best contemporary Australian music written for solo clarinet and piano and a variety of unusual chamber music combinations.
Includes 'Sonata ' (Meta Overman), (Andrew Schultz), the exciting and appealing 'Whirligig' and 'Gorlywhorl ' (Gerald Glynn), 'Twist' and 'bisous' (Gerard Brophy), 'Towards the Still Point' (Peter Rankine) and 'Dreamtracks' (Peter Sculthorpe) – 'may be the best Australian composition for this combination that I have heard.' (Clasax). Press quotes:
“A great addition to any clarinet library!”
— Queensland Clarinet and Saxophone Society Journal “Williams, with his sober but warm style, makes a strong case for music which one virtually never hears on disc, and seldom enough in live performance ... this is an important recording and repays careful attention.”— Stuart Thomas, The Melburnian “The playing throughout the disc is outstanding. The various ensembles perform well together, and Floyd Williams plays with a consistently fluid, beautiful tone and with impeccable accuracy and intonation.”— The Clarinet Audio preview:
