Learning to Fly

Sokhiev conducts #The Rite of Spring#

Richard Baker's music is by turns attractive, witty and frightening. Learning to fly is a concertante work featuring that rare instrumental animal the basset clarinet (for which Mozart originally wrote his Clarinet Concerto). The edgy interplay between soloist and ensemble takes the music down many paths of adventure, some playful, some eerie. Never in doubt is the composer's razor sharp ear, his sure control of timing and his ability to tell fantastical stories in sound.
