Todd Levy, principal clarinet of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Santa Fe Opera, presents Rhapsodie, a diverse array of classical 20th-century works for his instrument. Grammy Award-winning clarinetist Todd Levy, who holds the principal chairs with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Santa Fe Opera, presents Rhapsodie, an astonishing array of classic 20th-century works for his instrument. The rich pallette of colors and immense versatility of the clarinet is on full display in impressionistic Debussy and Ravel, Cubanisto-style Bernstein, pastoral Finzi, the folk idioms of Bartok, klezmer inspiration by Béla Kovács, blues-inflected Libby Larsen and genrebending Paquito D'Rivera. Todd's technical wizardry is flawless throughout and is matched by his collaborators pianists Jeannie Wu and Elena Abend, and guitarist Rene Izquierd.
