Elsewhere - Commissions for Clarinet on CD

This album brings together a striking collection of works written for or premiered by Robert Plane, one of today's most distinguished clarinettists. Music by Judith Bingham, Sally Beamish, Piers Hellawell and David Matthews reveals the instrument's remarkable expressive range. Bingham's Elsewhere takes inspiration from the hidden details of Botticelli's paintings, transforming overlooked moments into

vivid musical landscapes. Alongside it are Beamish's inventive Tom's Turn, Hellawell's evocative Woodsmoke and

The Rising of Sirius, Matthews's moving tribute A Song for Barrie, and Bingham's compelling concerto Barnaby Rudge.

With the Elias String Quartet, Gould Piano Trio, James Gilchrist, Tim Horton and Rhys Herbert, Plane celebrates the

imagination and enduring creative partnerships behind these exceptional commissions.
