everglade records is pleased to announce the release of Celestial Dreamscapes, a compact disc set featuring clarinetist Scott Locke performing twentieth-century acoustic and electro-acoustic works by eight composers. With works by Kristine H. Burns, Deborah Kavasch, John Mayer, Willson Osborne, John Steffa, Igor Stravinsky, and Dan Welcher, this disc invites the listener on a sonic tour de force of both virtuosic and introspective works for clarinet. 

“This disc is an excellent compilation of works that have become ‘classics’ of the literature along with more recent compositions that break new ground…. What is constant is quality, both of compositions and their performance. It is hoped that this disc will be at once entertaining, edifying, and enlightening.”

—F. Gerard Errante 

“Clarinetist Scott Locke has released a commendable recorded collection of music for solo clarinet spanning nearly the entire 20th century…. [T]hroughout the CD, Dr. Locke rises to all technical and musical challenges with aplomb. His big, chunky sound never interfered when lightness and sparkle were needed.”

            —David Thomas, The Buzzing Reed
