Product Description
Acclaimed duo partners Jon Manasse and Jon Nakamatsu turn their attention to American composers in this jazz-inflected programme of music for clarinet and piano.
Bernstein's sonata was his first published work. It is a stylish blend of neo-classical formalism and Bernstein's keen understanding of popular sensibilities. Gershwin is represented here in two arrangements by James Cohn: firstly the evergreen Preludes for piano, followed by a transcription of the iconic song 'I Got Rhythm' from the musical Girl Crazy as the disc's encore. Also featured are two world premiere recordings
