The Brahms Sonata is a staple
of the clarinet repertoire, and is joined on this disc by a natural successor,
Reger's heavily Brahms-inspired work. Both are late works in each composer's
output, the Brahms representing a culmination and distillation of his mature
style, while Reger lights the way forward to Webern and post-modernism.

Review:
"The Brahms especially receives a spacious, warm performance, the interweaving
of the two instruments revealing some of the work's treasures which in lesser
hands can become elusive." Liverpool Daily Post
