Kazem is not only a great insturmentalist but a very fine conductor. He just conducted the Atlanta Opera's Cosi fan Tuttie...and hes a very fine person too.
The St. Louis Symphony concert that I attended tonight included Aaron Copland's "Concerto for Clarinet & String Orchestra with Harp & Piano;" Igor Stravinsky's "Symphony in 3 Movements"; Benjamin Britten's "Serenade for Tenor, Horn & Strings" ; & Dmitry Shostakovich's "Symphony No.9" . Unfortunately the auditorium was less than half full for this interesting well performed program.
The musical selection heard here is part of the first movement of the Copland concerto.
A little bright in the sound but I love the interpretation. Also, very happy to hear of the adventures into the conducting world. As a clarinet/conducting student you hear often it's a piano players world. Very encouraging! Bravo.
He has good tone quality but I was so surprised when I began to listen the recording because he started to play the concerto not with the A theme(main theme) of the piece!!! He began with A1 theme which is repeat of the first melody... This is a huge mistake I think... If a soloist is not sure about his/her memory, he/she should play with the partiture... but anyway its not a bad job...well done!..
i've played this piece. it is correct. this piece begins in a way that sounds like A1. anyway it wouldn't have been a memory slip. when playing with an orchestra a memory slip is something much more obvious than a weird-sounding part.
Bravo!

So the opening was pretty beautiful. Your small touches of vibrato made it perfect. Too many people over do vibrato. Nice job!
