Descripción en Youtube:
Kimmo Hakola: Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra – composed in 2001 ∙ Kari Kriikku, clarinet ∙ Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra ∙ Sakari Oramo, conductor ∙ I. Introduzione 00:00 ∙ II. Hidden Songs 10:49 · III. Allegro Farara 22:02 ∙ IV. Khasene 30:06 ∙ The opening movement is dominated by the aggressive toccata-like pounding typical of Hakola. Here, the struggle between soloist and orchestra is at its most violent. Towards the end of the movement there is a virtuoso cadenza which begins like a classical etude but subsequently takes in other styles too. The slow movement, Hidden Songs, is a soaring, melodic and captivating piece of music. Hakola has cited the slow movement of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto as a remote influence. The clarinet is joined by a solo violin in singing the ‘hidden songs’ of the movement’s title. Towards the end, following a Romantic outburst from the orchestra, a section resembling a slow rock-jazz ballad emerges; Hakola has mentioned Sting in connection with this section. The third movement, Allegro farara, is a wild and whirling Oriental dance in a quirky 7/8 rhythm. Despite its authentic sound, it is pure Hakola and contains no borrowed elements. The finale, which follows without a break, begins with crowd noises that slowly fade. The movement title, Khasene, is the Yiddish for ‘wedding’. The nuptials turn out to be quite raucous as Hakola rolls out poignant pathos and rollicking klezmer look-alikes in turn. The soloist is given scope for improvisation.
