Greetings "klarinet" readers,

I'm pleased to announce a new chamber CD of music by composer Giorgio
Koukl. There are several works on the disc of particular interest to
clarinetists. (His father, the late Jiri Koukl, was clarinetist for the
orchestra of the National Theatre of Prague.)

Trioplay (oboe, clarinet, bassoon) 12'03" (tracks 2-5)
Contest Piece (clarinet & piano) 10'06" (track 10)
Divertimento (wind quintet) 10'30" (tracks 11-13)

Title: Giorgio Koukl: Drops of Light
Label: GASPARO (GSCD-355) (distributed by Albany Records in the USA)
Artist: Giorgio Koukl, composer, harpsichord & piano, and various others
Genre: chamber music
Release: Sept. 24, 2002
13 tracks, total duration 65:28
Suggested Retail Price: $17.98 (but see below)

Lux Nova Press publishes several of the compositions on the CD
(including "Contest Piece," for which there is also a version for
clarinet and small orchestra), and is the US distributor for
Mnemes/Alfieri e Ranieri (Palermo, Sicily) which publishes most of the
other works featured (including "Divertimento" -- which we finally have
IN STOCK).

Although official release of the CD is Sept. 24, it's available now in
our webstore: http://www.luxnova.com/lnpwebstore/ ($14.98 plus s/h) or
directly from Gasparo http://www.gasparo.com/ ($14.99 + s/h)
The LNP webstore listing also has more details of what's on the disc.
It can be also pre-ordered now from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/ for
shipment upon arrival (at the SRP).

Gasparo's description (from their website):

"International prizewinning composer, Giorgio Koukl, who also
performs as pianist and harpsichordist on this album, resides in
Switzerland. These excellent chamber works were recorded by
Swiss Radio and feature the Quartet of Italian Switzerland, the
Wind Quintet of Italian Switzerland, the Klepac and Langer
Piano Duo of Prague and members of the Wind Quintet of the
National Theatre of Prague. Liner notes are in both English and
Italian."

Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Mark Gresham, composer
