Maria du Toit, a South African-Dutch clarinetist, and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Arjan Tien have released the album "Clarinet Colours" on Channel Classics. The exploration of contemporary clarinet repertoire by South African composers opens a sound world of impressive colors and strong contrasts. South Africa, often referred to as the "rainbow nation", embodies a complex web of cultures, languages and histories interconnected by resilience and renewal. This album reflects this spirit: it showcases the remarkable versatility of the clarinet and traverses a broad spectrum of expressive colors and energies. The concerti by leading South African composers such as David Earl, Roelof Temmingh and Conrad Asman were written for or dedicated to Maria du Toit
