It’s one voice among all on Now Is the Time, Saturday, October 11th at 9 pm at wrti.org and WRTI-HD2. Two concertos—the ultimate one vs. many format—bookend a lone flute on this week’s program. Meditation and Caprice are the two movements of the engaging, mesmerizing Violin Concerto by Kevin Puts.
Robert Baksa’s Soliloquy from 1997, and from a CD of his flute music, is subtitled “Krishna’s Song,” as the Hindu deity is often pictured playing the flute. The energetic and moody Clarinet Concerto of Paul Moravec features soloist David Krakauer. Moravec wrote this while he was in residence at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton.
