This new CD presents selected works for clarinet and piano played by Marieke Vos (clarinet) and Camiel Boomsa (piano).
"The title of the album, Sliding Doors, originated in the tempo marking of the first movement of Nino Rota's sonata for clarinet and piano: Rota writes Scorrevole, meaning flowing or supple a very versatile word above the first movement. Porte scorrevoli therefore means sliding doors and is our thought for the structure and character of this programme: Behind every door, as it were, a new musical perspective appears. One door reveals the melancholy of Gerald Finzi and another the exciting virtuosity of Henri Rabaud." Camiel Boomsa & Marieke Vos
