REVIEWS OF HAKEN CONCERTO CD:
The Clarinet (official journal of the International Clarinet Society, Sept. 2007, page 13-14): “The concerto culminates in a bombastic climax, featuring an epic battle between the two themes. The movement is at times tongue-in-cheek, perhaps a satirical polacca, and exhibits a keen scoring imagination. This exciting trip ends brilliantly……..This disc is highly recommended not only for the clarinet work, but also for Haken’s exuberant Americana fiddling style of the viola work and the beautiful and engaging Oboe Concerto.........a joy to experience. This is a winner – guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.”
American Record Guide (Nov./Dec. 2007, page 116): “Ordinary boundaries do not fence Rudolf Haken in.....He flaunts his fiddling capabilities in a Concerto for Five-String Viola – four wacky but well-crafted movements..…” Selected as American Record Guide Critics' Choice 2007.
