TL;DR
- Mark van de Wiel, former principal clarinet of the Philharmonia, performs music by Anna Clyne, Ruth Gipps, and Weber.
- Anna Clyne's "Strange Loops" is described as a cyclic system, multiplied and mutated with satisfying conclusions.
- Ruth Gipps' "Rhapsody in E-flat" showcases a dark-toned and buttery clarinet performance.
- Weber's "Clarinet Quintet" is presented as a virtuoso outing with imaginative solo lines and collegiate accompaniment.
