AGP109: Horatiu Radulescu's Inner Time II

I highly recommend:

> AGP109 is a transcription of an out-of-print CD of
> Horatiu Radulescu's Inner Time II, for seven B-flat clarinets.
> Like AGP85, it is brought to you by the AGP's global network
> of Radulescu partisans--this one having started down the
> fiber-optic pipes from New Jersey in the USA.
>
> Inner Time II is based on a 42-pitch overtone-based scale
> with each of the seven clarinets employing 6 of the 42 notes.
> It starts and ends with combinations of clarinets patiently elaborating
> subtly shifting microtonal intervals. I love that sort of stuff, but t
> here is an austerity in these sections that reminds me of Gregorian
> Chant, and it takes some endurance to give it my full attention
> minute after minute. About halfway through the 56-minute work,
> there is a "valley" section in which the clarinets explore arpeggios
> in a lower register, producing a sound like an aeolian harp. I have
> to admit that this section is a big relief when it comes.
