Publisher's Synopsis
"All The Luck", a concerto for clarinet & orchestra, is Al Kryszak's Homage to the Greatest Generation's Music. Originally intended for theatrical music in The Road Less Traveled production of Arthur Miller's "The Man Who Had All The Luck", the work quickly expanded into a full orchestral concerto for what I feel is one of the World War II generation's primary instruments: the Bb clarinet.
Though inspired by my mentors from the late 20th Century: Lukas Foss, Leonard Rosenman & Earle Hagen, the work is dedicated to my Dad, Joseph, and Mom, Gloria, who encouraged me to build things from imagination & stand up for someone else when the time comes. Buffalo clarinetist Andrea Runfola recorded the expressive & subtle chamber version on AppleMusic, but the full orchestral version has yet to be performed. A.K. 12-2023
