Composer's Notes
Press Quotes
"Glanert wrote this brisk three-movement piece for the clumsy solo instrument which the soloist still managed to play with some agility and precisely differentiated sound. The abundant, colourful orchestration, unfolding a great range of instrumental colours, unleashes its power in the finale which is more inspired by Leonard Bernstein than by anybody else. The conductor led the orchestra safely through the score. Once more Glanert revealed his skilful art of orchestration." (Matthias Roth, Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung, 02 Nov 2002)
