This acclaimed CD offers the premiere recordings of three major chamber works by the award-winning composer John Musto performed by Music from Copland House. His Clarinet Sextet is “a knockout” (The Strad); his Piano Trio is “attractive, songful, and beautifully written” (The New York Times), and his Divertimento “overflows with dancing energy, nifty melodic turns, and wistful lyricism” (American Record Guide). Musto’s instrumental music inhabits a vibrant urban landscape animated by a brash drive, languid, nocturnal poetry, and stylish, sophisticated allure, where the edgy sounds of the street co-exist with the meticulous teachings of the conservatory. His instrumental compositions often seem like lively, literate conversations by a diverse cast of colorful, engaging characters.
