â? Christopher Tyler Nickel hat in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten mindestens ein Dutzend Konzerte geschrieben. Wenig ĂĽberraschend: viele Werke fĂĽr die Oboe oder ihr verwandte Instrumente, da der Komponist selbst Oboist ist. Gerne aber auch fĂĽr Instrumente, die solistisch eher selten in Erscheinung treten, wie das Baritonsaxofon oder das Heckelphon oder, wie hier, die Piccoloflöte und vier Wagnertuben (ein Horn-Hybrid, den Wagner fĂĽr seinen â??Ringâ?? bauen lieĂ?). Die Solisten Sally Jackson, Piccolo-Flötistin des Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, und die vier Wagnertuba-Spieler werden vom Vancouver Contemporary Orchestra unter Clyde Mitchell unterstĂĽtzt. - Award-winning Canadian composer Christopher Tyler Nickel scales heights and plumbs depths with his novel new recording of concertos, for piccolo and for four Wagner tubas. Following his recently released Requiem, last year's epic seven-hour Gospel According to Mark, and concertante works for all ranges for his own instrument - oboe, oboe d'amore and bass oboe - Chris' new recording includes a dazzling Concerto for Piccolo featuring principal piccolo player of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Sarah Jackson, paired with an astounding assemblage of four players of the Wagner tuba, a hybrid tuba-French horn instrument commissioned by the namesake composer for his opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen. Both Jackson and the four Wagner tuba soloists - Oliver de Clercq, Laurel Spencer, Valerie Whitney, Holly Bryan - are superbly supported by conductor Clyde Mitchell and the Vancouver Contemporary Orchestra. |
