Product Description
Charles Neidich, from CD endorsement, 2004
"Menéndez's music fills an important niche. Espina-Ruiz plays the music with great feeling and technical aplomb."
Product Description:
This double CD is the first recording of the complete works for clarinet and piano by late-Romantic Spanish composer Julián Menéndez. It features Spanish Clarinetist Oskar Espina Ruiz who, after doing extensive scholarly research and performing numerous recitals and concertos on Menéndez, has gained a reputation as the Menéndez specialist. The booklet of this CD includes the endorsements of Richard Stoltzman, Charles Neidich and Vicente Peñarrocha, as well as substantial liner notes (in English, German, French, Spanish and Basque). The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York writes: "The Spanish Basque Julián Menéndez (1895-1975) was a clarinetist of legendary virtuosity with the Madrid Symphony Orchestra and Madrid Symphonic Band. His compositions for the instrument represent a unique style of writing and greatly expanded the technical and expressive possibilities of the clarinet. Menéndez’s works are comparable in inspiration and scope to those written for piano by Albéniz and Granados."
