Kate Romano (clarinet) & Alan Hicks (piano) "Not just a collection of clarinet works, but a well-devised retrospective of British music over three decades. Bennett's virtuoso, theatrical Scena III and Wood's engrossing, symphonic Paraphrase, as well as the Maconchy and Butler items, would enhance any imaginative recital. Romano is an accomplished and sympathetic advocate, not least in her informative booklet notes." Gramophone | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
