Re: Best XXI century clarinet concertos?

Author: clarinetist04  Date:   2015-05-29 00:27 Paquito D'Rivera's Cape Cod Concerto is challenging and nice. (2011) There are a couple of middle eastern concertos written in a contemporary middle eastern style, something like traditional klezmer - Mohammed Fairouz is probably the best one in my opinion. (also 2011) Fazil Say has a piece as well, published by Schott. A couple others in a traditional Turkish style (Mehmet Ozer, for instance) I love Schickele's Concerto. It's a lovely piece, very light, easy to listen to and fun to play. (2004) Aho is challenging and there are a ton of 21st century Scandinavian works - Rautavaara comes to mind along with a host of lesser known works. Of those lesser known, Sebastian Fagerlund (written in 2006), recorded on a Naxos CD, is a challenging work with a lot of flare. Michael Daugherty did Brooklyn Bridge in 2004. Readily available. Just for context, I've recorded (as in, recorded in a list, not recorded on a CD ) about 310 works written since 2000. So there's plenty to choose from!
