In the shadows, something moves. It scurries, it echoes, it calls and – like a spectre or the voice of the soul – it responds. Pierre Boulez’s extraordinary Dialogue de l’ombre double is a true modern classic: a fantastic, haunting conversation between one world-class player and his other self. And when that player is the RWCMD’s own Head of Woodwind Performance, clarinettist Robert Plane, the results are likely to be unforgettable.
