Concerto for Bass Clarinet & Chamber Orch.

Bass clarinetist Tim Smith performs Hyla's 1988 Concerto on the New World Records album Trans, with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project led by conductor Gil Rose. "The Boston composer Lee Hyla writes works that deftly blend expressionistic, complex contemporary atonal idioms with elements of avant-garde jazz, rock and even punk... While American orchestras keep commissioning the same handful of tame Neo-Romantics, here is a truly original composer who has yet to gain the attention he deserves." -Anthony Tommassini, The New York Times.
