Sam Boutris Clarinet • Sophiko Simsive Piano
This album pays homage to composers—but not necessarily to the same compositions—whose gravitational pull drew clarinetist Sam Boutris into distinct phases of his musical development.
As Schumann might have said, Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune certainly is a very different piece in this adaptation for clarinet and piano. The pronounced contrast of the clarinet’s timbre has a way of revoicing harmonies toward its chosen chord-tones, refracting the familiar piano chords through a newpane of hearing. Digital Program.
