This performance of the Concerto for Clarinet and Strings by faculty composer Ezra Laderman features two of the School’s distinguished artist faculty: clarinetist David Shifrin and conductor Ransom Wilson. The concerto was premiered by Shifrin in 1995, and the composer made significant revisions to the string score in the last movement in 2006. This concert recording of the work from February 8, 2007 is the first performance of the revised version. The concert was part of the New Music New Haven series, under the artistic direction of Aaron Jay Kernis, and took place in Morse Recital Hall in Sprague Hall. The recording engineer was Eugene Kimball. For a PDF version of the complete program for this concert and for additional podcasts, please visit www.yale.edu/music/podcast.
