Martin Amlin: Music for Flute, Clarinet & Piano
Martin Amlin (piano), Leone Buyse (flute), Fenwick Smith (flute), Michael Webster (clarinet)
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.

"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."
