John Williams | Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra (1991) | John Bruce Yeh, soloist
Concerto for Clarinet [and Orchestra], ca. 1991
I. Maestoso 0:00-11:22
II. Calmo 11:23-22:07
III. Con Brio 22:08-28:17

John Bruce Yeh, longtime assistant principal clarinetist and E-flat clarinetist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, performs John Williams's Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra with the Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Emanuele Andrizzi. The Midwest première occurred on Monday, 5 February 2024, at 7:30 pm (DST) at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University.
Yeh's performance marks the concerto's first performance outside its original première with then-Los Angeles Philharmonic principal clarinetist Michele Zukovsky and the Riverside County Philharmonic, Williams conducting. The initial première occurred at 8 pm (EDT) on Saturday, 13 April, at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium. Richard S. Ginell, then Los Angeles Times chief music critic, gave a less-than-satisfactory review of the initial première, causing Williams to keep the work unpublished and unperformed until both Zukovsky and Yeh made a concerted effort to revive it. Ginell's original review can be found below:
______
Riverside-Somehow, the Riverside County Philharmonic found itself with a John Williams world premiere on its hands Saturday night in Municipal Auditorium. Not on that, the Boston Pops maestro was around to conduct his new work, a Concerto for Clarinet written for the much-admired principal clarinetist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Michele Zukovsky. For all the attention that this concert might bring Riverside, the work doesn't do much for Williams' own reputation. About 21 minutes long, the concerto rumbles and meanders about in a generic never-never land between tonality and dissonance. Whatever one may think of them, at least Williams' ubiquitous film scores have a distinctly grandiose personality and flair, whereas this faceless concerto seems to go out of its way to avoid its creator's imprint. The piece did give Zukovsky a good workout with its skittery, showy solo flights over the routine orchestral sheen-and she delivered the goods with agile strength and liquid tone. However, the Riverside orchestra's own contributions were compromised by truly wretched amplification. As bookends for his concerto, Williams hauled out two of his infinitely memorable crowd-pleasers, the March from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Adventures on Earth" from "E.T.," which the orchestra executed with overall cohesion despite some very rough edges. After intermission, the orchestra's music director, Patrick Flynn, too over the baton with a Dvořák "New World" Symphony that settled in vigorously after some misshapen wallowing in the first movement.

Hola claro esta és lamejor version de marboro
This is an amazing treasure! So gald to hear it :)
You're doing the Lord's work 🙏
Russell Dagon was my grandfather. Cool to hear him play
Anybody know the piece at 23:35?
Hovhaness's Symphony no.38, op.314, S, small orch, 1978. I listed the work as it appears in the New Grove Dictionary of Music Online, here is a citation: Rosner, Arnold, and Vance Wolverton. 2001. "Hovhaness [Hovaness], Alan [Chakmakjian, Alan Hovhaness]." Grove Music Online. doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.13420. I hope this is helpful.
Wonderful songs: beautifully played and sung. I actually used to have the record as a teenager and got to love them.
Che bellezza!
Do you have more videos on the nine tones ? I love this one
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. I first heard this in the early 70's.
Omg he was just my teacher!!! (For like 5 days)
Stunning.
Since this concert was about a month before the film released, this could very well be the premier of the Imperial March. Which for such an iconic and well-known piece is very cool to see.
my clarinet teacher at mannes school,,,nicest most generous guy ever rip mr glazer
Wow that was absolutely powerful and gracious, BRAVO! Mr Stoltzman nailed it
A master of taking time - bravo
Appropriately it starts off with "The Cowboys," one of his favorites and he played it often, usually as an encore.
Tallis mostly is known for "Spem in Alium", but these austere tunes show a genius can demonstrate his/her worth regardless the number of voices - Being them four or forty.
This is a fascinating video of a major American composer and conductor, explicating his own music! More, please!
Thank you so much, Dr. Cohen! This means so much to me, coming from the Hanson expert. I'm a PhD candidate studying historical musicology at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati. I'm originally from Lincoln, NE, so I grew up with Hanson like one would with Mozart or Beethoven. My dissertation topic is on SUNY Buffalo between 1956-81. Still, I'd like to make Hanson my secondary research area, especially relating to his '64 treatise and its more significant place within tonality since 1950. I would love to get in contact with you!
The first time I hear it when I was twenty one in 1971, I love it.
🤤 P r o m o S M
the man that started that stupid clarinet dancing that 99 percent of the kids today copy..all form,,,no substance,,save all that wasted energy dancing and jumping around and put it into the music
I would never say anything bad about Stoltzman. I'm glad he's playing today. His sound at his peak was special, full of substance and form, emotional, delicate, sweet and aggressive. He still retains a certain magic. I think Martin Frost is more to blame for the dance
All that long note stuff, very boring to say the least.
Sorry, I had to switch it off
The third one is amazing for sure, but so are the others, albeit less known
The fifth one is gorgeous
10:33 The strings are excellent at playing the harmonica melody like a puppet.
Copeland wrote this for Goodman but he could have just have well written it for Stoltzman. What a magnificent performance.
Bravo
my ex teacher...great great guy
Some subtle vibrato there. I like it.
If this performance was released before ESB was released in theatres what a treat for SW fans to hear.
Tremendous performance all round
Anymore please
i disagree with him on clarinets wearing out..they last long...
Anymore please add
great Stoltzman !!!
todays players sound more english,,no center to it
Harold the king Wright.
Love Richard Stoltzman! Wonderful Person, Musician, and Artist!
he taught Ralph Mclane...and Mclane taught Harold Wright..who had the most beautiful tone ever
Increíble ❤
splendid!
I love this. I will use it teaching for sure
I think his description of his sound as being between the French and German styles is exactly what characterizes the American style. Warmer and rounder than the French style, but not quite so dark as the German style.
There are not many things that say "ENGLAND" as clearly as these glories.
A great movie and soundtrack …
The best of Jerry Goldsmith
Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful recording from the past. I learned the Stamitz from it. God bless you and yours. Bill. UK
Thank you for sharing! Can you tell me which score you used?

No comments?! Really? I was losing my sh*t on Rumba Rumba 😂 I haven't played/listened to this piece since All State Concert Band like 20 years ago! I feel old, but it's one of my absolute favorite band pieces. I'm so happy you uploaded it. Great performance as well. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💕
Played this a few semesters back and was just thinking about it cause I I heard some shanties and it reminded me of this piece. While listening to it i was like hmm ik there is a pain in the ass movement I hated? Then the 4th movement started and I was like ah yes Rumba Rumba...
This movie is incredibly underrated
The best recording of this piece hands down.
