Dawid Jarzynski Unilaterality for one player - UK premiere
Three ‘classics’ of contemporary clarinet repertoire are framed by two UK premieres. Of his work Harlekin of 1975, Stockhausen wrote ‘Out of the enchanted dream-messenger awake successively the playful constructor, the enamoured lyric, the pedantic teacher, the roguish joker, the passionate dancer and finally the exalted spinning spirit with his bird cries.’ Lutoslawski’s Dance Preludes are full of vibrant rhythms and roguish charm and Penderecki’s early and beguiling miniatures of 1959, composed just before his international career took off, reveal a Webernesque concise expressivity. Jarzynski’s own Unilaterality is a tour-de-force of virtuosity. Dawid Jarzynski is a prize-winning clarinettist and composer and Anna Czaicka is one of Poland’s rising stars.
