Rodney Earl Clarke releasing debut album "Glorious Quest"

Rodney Earl Clarke

British barihunk Rodney Earl Clarke is releasing his debut album, Glorious Quest, a collection of the greatest songs from American musical theater. The album focuses on the composers that solidified the modern story-driven, integrated art genre that we now enjoy.

Selections include Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’, If I Loved You, Some Enchanted Evening and You'll Never Walk Alone from Carousel. He is joined by the pianist Christopher Gould. You can purchase a copy HERE.

You can hear Clarke live on August 23, when he performs at the Proms in Dvořák’s haunting Symphony No. 9. Originally devised by Gerard McBurney and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, this newly remounted Beyond the Score® performance combines actors, projections and live musical examples to explore the history of this enduringly popular orchestral classic.
