So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star?

Berginald Rash explores the developments of the American school of clarinet playing from the late 20th century to today, and plays his favourite performers and tracks.

Berginald Rash explores the wide-ranging developments of the American school of clarinet playing from the late 20th century to today, and plays us his favourite performers and tracks. This time, the clarinet steps out from its early role as band-member, dons its tight trousers and strides straight out into centre stage - the clarinet as rock star! There are stomping pyrotechnic concertos by Artie Shaw, John Corigliano and Scott McAllister, and Deborah Bish's provocatively bluesy chamber music, and we also go to the movies with John Williams, with some modern developments in South America on the way. But every school has its teachers, so Berginald digs out two classic recordings by the clarinettists that have influenced him most: the great performers and pedagogues, Harold Wright and Robert Marcellus.
