  • Description

    Michael Collins, the virtuoso clarinettist and exclusive Chandos artist, returns for a second volume in Chandos' series showcasing the extraordinarily wide range of music written for his instrument. The first volume, The Virtuoso Clarinet (CHAN 10615), was described by International Record Review as: '...an absolute charmer, most beautifully played... difficult to imagine a finer performance than that given here.' Accompanied by Michael McHale on the piano, Collins here explores the lyrical qualities of the clarinet in a programme comprising a widely varied repertoire.

Baermann's Adagio in D flat perfectly illustrates the clarinet's capacity for sustained lyric melody, taking on the character of an operatic aria, the clarinet's soulful line interspersed with sudden bursts of bravura. Though once ascribed to Richard Wagner, the piece is now acknowledged as being by Baermann, widely recognised as one of the greatest clarinettists of his time. Among the other key works on this release is Saint-Sa
