I was intrigued by your reaction to Jurg Frey's new Clarinet Quintet: "Is this something new?" I, too, was struck by the Quintet, to the extent that I have listened to it nearly every day since the recording was released by Another Timbre. I find the slow unfolding of the beautiful melodies in the Quintet irresistible.
Thanks, Eric. It is a striking work; I'm intrigued to see what happens next – will it be a one-off, or mark a new direction for Frey? Props to Simon Reynell and Another Timbre for commissioning it.
