Richard Stoltzman's "Ebony," released on January 1, 1988, under RCA Victor, is a captivating chamber music album that spans a concise yet engaging 52 minutes. Stoltzman, renowned for his virtuosity, presents a diverse collection of pieces that showcase his mastery of the clarinet and his versatility as a musician. The album opens with the lively "American Medley," a vibrant fusion of American folk tunes, followed by the spiritual solace of "Come Sunday." The sweet, honeyed tones of "Apple Honey" provide a gentle contrast, leading into the intricate three-movement "Ebony Concerto." This piece, with its dynamic shifts from the brisk "Allegro moderato" to the reflective "Andante" and the spirited "Moderato - Con moto," demonstrates Stoltzman's technical prowess and emotional depth. The album continues with the evocative "Igor," inspired by Stravinsky's ballet, and the narrative charm of "Stories from the West Side." A tribute to jazz legend Woody Herman, "Waltz for Woody," adds a touch of swing, while the album concludes with the intimate "Cousins." Throughout "Ebony," Richard Stoltzman's artistry shines, making it a standout in the chamber music genre.
