Delightful music for flute, clarinet, and piano by Boston composer Martin Amlin.

All of the works on this recording evidence the hallmarks of Martin Amlin's style: a facile flow of elaborate rhythms; a harmonic language rich with the notes that comprise seventh chords; a non-strict usage of tone rows; an honoring of the past through recognizable formal structure and thematic evolution; and a French sensibility that might be described as neo-impressionistic. A student of Nadia Boulanger, Martin Amlin received masters and doctoral degrees from the Eastman School of Music. He is the recipient of numerous prizes and awards and has been a resident at Yaddo, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and the MacDowell Colony. A member of the faculty at Boston University, he is also director of the Boston University Tanglewood Institute Young Artists Composition Program. A noted pianist as well, he performs the works on this CD with noted artists Leone Buyse and Michael Webster, who have long been advocates of his music.

Review:
“I am most delighted to make the acquaintance of this composer through his music, which speaks very directly to me; it is in no sense superficial and repeated hearings will allow the listener to plumb additional details and facets in these works. Performances herein are stellar, too, and make a wonderful case for the music…Highly and enthusiasti-cally recommended.” (Fanfare)
