Observation (No. 5) for Clarinet and String Orchestra
Observation (No. 5) is a short piece for clarinet and string orchestra. It is a brief yet evocative work for clarinet and string orchestra, composed and first recorded in 2017 and newly recorded in June 2025. Written in a post‑minimalist style, the piece unfolds with meditative poise, weaving gentle clarinet lines through a shimmering backdrop of sustained string textures and subtle rhythmic shifts. Its title hints at a sense of quiet contemplation, as if the listener is invited to pause and reflect alongside the music’s restrained but luminous development.
This new recording offers a refreshed interpretation, with Stefan himself as the clarinet soloist, highlighting the piece’s delicate interplay between solo instrument and ensemble. It will be available in the spatial audio format, which enhances the immersive quality of the sound, surrounding the listener in its calm yet subtly evolving harmonies. The result is a work that feels intimate and spacious at once—both a personal statement and a serene musical landscape that rewards close listening.
