Thoroughly modern Magnus

[sawyl]

After searching for it for months, I've finally managed to locate a copy of Magnus Lindberg's Clarinet Concerto and I now understand why it was so hard to find: it's utterly amazing. It's definitely one of the best CDs of 2005.

I suspect that it's been tough to track down because it's been flying, insofar as any CD of modern classic music can ever be said to fly, off the shelves while the record stores have only been buying in copies one at a time cuz everyone knows that no-one really likes classic music, let alone all that nasty, difficult, modern stuff, right?
