Brave New World - PROKOFIEV ROTA MESSIAEN CD
Brave New World - PROKOFIEV ROTA MESSIAEN CD
Acclaimed clarinettist Emma Johnsons new release explores music composed against a background of war taking a cue from the title of Aldous Huxleys 1931 novel Brave New World. Emma has arranged Prokofievs elegant neoclassical Flute Sonata Op. 94 (1943) for clarinet and piano a world premiere recording. Hindemiths Clarinet Sonata (1939) is haunted by the shadow of war. its pastoral opening interrupted by military motifs, its mischievous scherzo continually beaten into submission. I find the slow movement one of the most despairing pieces in all of Hindemiths work writes Emma. Nina Rotas Sonata (1945) in three movements seems to be intent on beguiling us with a vision of hope for the future. Messiaens Abme des oiseaux (or Abyss of Birds) from the Quartet for the End of Time finds, by contrast, beauty in desolation with its sadness, its weariness. Emma Johnson OBE is one of few clarinetists to have established a busy solo career which has taken her to major European, American and Asian venues as well as to Africa and Australasia. Emma grew up in London and in 1984 she won BBC Young Musician of the Year. Early successes launched her career whilst she was still at school but she decided to study Music and English at Cambridge University before embarking full time on a musical path. A Patron of CLIC Sargent, the childhood cancer charity Emma was also the first woman to be made an Honorary Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge and was honoured by the Queen with an M.B.E. in 1996Additional Info: Personnel: Anna Cecilia (vocals).Specifics
