Concerto for Recorder and Wind Orchestra

Karkoff's music is constructed round a simple and playful triadic melody that is constantly being refined through a great variation of episodes. The style may be described as romantic renaissance in which the lyrically melodious lines are dominant, but it is difficult to categorize the music. According to Music Web, 'this is a fascinating work, and a highly successful concerto'.
Music Web International: 'BIS have a justified reputation for producing desirable discs, and with this new CD of high quality, substantial and original new music they have certainly done themselves no disservice. Dan Laurin's message that the recorder can hold its own in orchestral works is amply proven'; Klassik Heute 10/10/10, highest rating.
