Recordings of Rebecca playing in recitals



1. Hillandale Waltzes by Victor Babin - Simple theme presents framework for a set of waltz variations.

2. Wings by Joan Tower- The first note appears from nothing, but the subdued beginning does not last for long.

3. Tricolor Capers by Eric Mandat (also, 5th mvmt of Folk Songs)- Contemporary sounding yet accessible to a broad range of listeners, this piece incorporates extended techniques such as semi-tones and multiphonics.

The Jungle - Rebecca Tout, Clarinet
The recordings below are from a concert in Ankara, Turkey in January of 2005. The hall was FREEZING, and I stupidly had not brought a shorter barrel for the tour (which meant that I would sound flat, which is very difficult/impossible to correct). But after adding a small heater to the stage next to me, plus filling the hall with warm bodies, this turned out to be my favorite performance of this performance tour.  What a treat to travel around Turkey playing works by Brahms with wonderful friends (Ben Moritz, piano and Ozgur Elgin, cello).
