Here is a live performance of this piece, now a standard of contemporary pieces for clarinet, with the same performers as the premiere. This recording also includes other clarinet works such as the Miniatures, performed with Itamar Golan, or Lutosławski’s irresistible Dance Preludes inspired by Polish folklore.
