Travel the world and you will never find a more gorgeous sound than the one Burt Hara, our star principal clarinetist, calls from his instrument: his liquid ebony tone is perfectly matched to the dark beauty in Crusell's Concerto. More loveliness comes with Der Rosenkavalier, the Strauss opera still beloved nearly a century after its premiere—selecting the most eloquent tunes, the composer poured them into a suite full of tenderness and passion.
