Performed by Jonathan Russell, bass clarinet soloist, and the Princeton University Orchestra, Michael Pratt conductor
This Bass Clarinet Concerto is virtuosic, but not necessarily in a typical concerto sort of a way. Rather than lots of flashy runs and fast passagework, it features a virtuosically wide range of colors and approaches to the instrument, from aggressive grooving to lyrical soaring to altissimo wailing. Like many performer-composers before me, I sought to draw on my own strengths and idiosyncracies as a player to create music that was both technically impressive and also enjoyable for me to play. The work is classically concerto-like in its conception, with a sense of dialog and interplay between soloist and ensemble. It is structured similarly to Aaron Copland’s 1948 Clarinet Concerto, with a slow, lyrical first movement leading directly into a solo cadenza, which culminates in a fast and energetic second movement.

Finally, some good bass clarinet repertoire!
Amazing piece and playing! Wow.
Came here after listening to another performance….such depth….this is a statement
oooh yeah - saw another version of this elsewhere, but it doesn't come close to yours Jon!
Can't wait to play it in a couple of weeks!
Absolutely amazing, maybe one day I'll give it a try haha..
maybe.
Holy crap
Thats absolutely gorgeous! I love the composition and the playing
Whoa!
I really need to learn how to do multiphonics
It’s a great work! How do you keep the melody with harmonics so stable? Do you use special fingering or just throat harmonics? Thanks!
They're all throat harmonics, so just regular fingerings of low notes. It just takes lots of practice to get the voicing very precise so you can stay on the same partial as you change notes.
@@jonathanrussell6833 Thank you for your reply Jonathan👍🏻! It’s really inspiring as you merge this technique into a context with harmony😍.
@@waichunluk8582 Thanks! Yeah, I really wanted to try to make it function harmonically and thematically rather than just as a "special effect."
@@jonathanrussell6833 It's very effective! I like it so much. :)
