Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Boris Blacher's compositions with this 1998 release from Ondine. This album is a testament to Blacher's versatility and innovation, spanning a range of works from his prolific career. The Concertante Musik, Op. 10, showcases his early neoclassical style, while the Furstin Tarakanowa Suite, Op. 19a, offers a dramatic journey through the opera from which it is derived. The Two Inventions, Op. 46, display Blacher's contrapuntal prowess, and the Music for Cleveland, Op. 53, is a vibrant orchestral piece that highlights his later modernist tendencies. The album concludes with the Clarinet Concerto, a work that demonstrates Blacher's ability to blend lyricism with technical virtuosity. Performances by Dimitri and Vera Ashkenazy bring these pieces to life with precision and passion, making this album a compelling exploration of one of the 20th century's most distinctive musical voices.
