Our Take

The latest offering from Fiterstein / Eco, "A Clarinet in America," is a delightful romp through the diverse landscapes of American music. With a whimsical charm and undeniable skill, the duo takes listeners on a journey from the jazz clubs of New Orleans to the folk festivals of Appalachia.

Clarinetist Alexander Fiterstein's virtuosic playing shines on every track, effortlessly blending classical precision with a jazzy flair. His tone is rich and full, drawing the listener in with its warmth and nuance. Meanwhile, pianist Michael Eco provides the perfect accompaniment, his sensitive touch and dynamic range adding depth and dimension to each composition.

The album opens with a lively interpretation of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," setting the stage for what's to come. The duo breathes new life into classic standards like "Summertime" and "Sweet Lorraine," infusing them with a fresh, modern sensibility.

But where "A Clarinet in America" truly shines is in its original compositions. Fiterstein and Eco's collaborative pieces are a testament to their creative partnership, pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the clarinet-piano duo. Tracks like "Blue Ridge Reverie" and "Bayou Sunrise" transport the listener to new and unexpected places, evoking a sense of wonder and exploration.

In a world full of generic, cookie-cutter albums, "A Clarinet in America" stands out as a true gem. Fiterstein / Eco have crafted a work of art that is as charming as it is ambitious, as whimsical as it is profound. With this album, they have firmly established themselves as two of the most exciting and innovative voices in contemporary classical music. A must-listen for fans of the clarinet, piano, or just good music in general.
