Recent recording
Here is a recent recording of Boulez’s Dialogue de l’ombre double by Daniel as part of his Masters research into Deliberate Practice and complex music. Originally composed for the clarinet in 1985 and transcribed for recorder in 2015, the piece presents many challenges on the recorder. Strophe I (at 1:15) is especially demanding, it pushes the recorder to its extreme in range and flexibility.
