Copland: Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra. ii Cadenza

Copland2

"Sarah Williamson produces a beautifully regulated sound and matches her intonation against the strings with luminous accuracy. She purrs her way through the Finzi Concerto, luxuriating in the music's pastoral whimsy and phrasing with captivating sensitivity. Her sensuously velvety tone is projected without the slightest hint of breathiness, imparting a radiant cool to the Copland Concerto, especially in the jaunty finale where her gently cushioned staccato proves especially seductive. ....."

JH , Classic FM Music Magazine, June 2010

"This new CD couples two excellent concerto performances by the very gifted Sarah Williamson .....She is ably partnered by David Curtis and the Orchestra of the Swan...Sarah williamson plays both concertos in superb fashion, with a most winning sense of style, and although this is not the first CD to couple these two works on the one disc, it is certainly one of the very best in that it couples other music by these composers..... This is an admiral disk all-round."

Alexander Leonard, MUSICAL OPINION, May 2010

"The infectious playing of a young clarinettist in her signature works. .....The Copland Concerto was written for Benny Goodman, and Williamson is infectious in the jazzy passages in the lively finale. The Finzi Concerto .... the outer movements bitingly dramatic. In the cadenza-like passages in both concertos Williamson is wonderfully persuasive, giving the impression of improvising the music, and the Allegro giacoso finale is a delight.........Altogether .....a winning disc..."

Edward Greenfield, Gramophone, June 2010

"Sarah Williamson is clearly a hugely promising clarinettist ...."
