Past Recollections on CD

The stories we tell, stemming from our experiences of people, places, and events, reveal how we understand and express the world around us. Composer Carl Vollrath presents works for clarinet and piano that depict his interpretations of past events and tones of past composers, oftentimes conveying them through ironic and spirited musical themes. Several of the works allude to the genius and techniques of 20th c. composers, including Copland, Delius and Prokofiev. NYC-born Carl Vollrath's major works include 6 symphonies for band, an opera - the Quest - and a large collection of chamber music.
