This selection of chamber music by Samuel Barber (1910-1981) contains some of his most notable compositions. The youthful Cello Sonata of 1932; Excursions for piano from 1942-44 and the charming Summer Music for wind quintet, written in 1956, amply illustrate Barber's propensity to lyricism, making this a most appealing disc.

Michael Harris (clarinet)

Michael Thompson Wind Ensemble

"On Naxos, the British quintet led by the horn player Michael Thompson plays Hindemith's entertaining 'Little Chamber Music' and Samuel Barber's rhapsodic Summer Music, together with a less familiar but very fresh 'divertimento' by the Swede Lars-Erik Larsson; and it co-opts a bass clarinet for Janacek's extraordinary Youth, a reminiscence of childhood written at the age of 70. An attractive programme, and the performances are accomplished and affectionate..." - BBC Music (Anthony Burton), June 2000
