Search - Brahms, Boeykens, Korosec :: Clarinet Quintet (Bonus Dvd) (Dig) (Pal0)

The Evil Penguin pays homage to Belgian clarinet virtuoso Walter Boeykens with a series of three CDs! It is only fitting that at the beginning of his life's autumn, Boeykens wanted to record the Clarinet Quintet, the masterpiece that Brahms wrote after he had (re)discovered the clarinet late in his own life. The result is a deeply moving registration by a truly great artist. The full extent of Boeykens' importance becomes obvious when watching the bonus DVD that accompanies the recording (a key passage is Boeykens' work with Pierre Boulez while premiering the latter's composition Domaines). DVD is PAL format, not NTSC, but is compatible with some newer machines and most computer platforms.
