Da Vincian Visions [Alf:00-BD9961]

In his musical tribute to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, composer Larry Clark crafts a single theme in a Da Vincian manner by viewing it from every possible angle. Using a theme and variation approach, he gives the composition unity and variety at the same time. The result is a major new work, a brilliant musical development of a minimal amount of material. With stunning use of colors and rhythms, this high-energy scoring is sophisticated, charismatic and destined to join the ranks of a very few works that are called standard repertoire. (6:52)
