Aldridge's Clarinet Concerto, which has been described as the direct descendant of the Copland.  Classical, folk, jazz and klezmer influences are brought together in a work which is infectious in its driving rhythms and soaring melodies, and it is here presented in a world premiere recording. Aldridge's Samba for clarinet and string quartet is an attempt to make this instrumentation sound like a Latin big-band. David Singer, the acclaimed longtime principal clarinetist of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, is joined on this recording by the internationally renowned Shanghai Quartet and A Far Cry Orchestra, a Boston-based collective of young professional string players who perform without a conductor and with rotating leadership.\u003cp\u003eRobert Livingston Aldridge (b. 1954): Clarinet Concerto (2004)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron Copland (1900-1990): Clarinet Concerto (1948)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert L.
