Two engaging clarinet concertos- one essentially Classical in style, the other rather more Romantic and both which deserve to be more widely known.


"Antony Pay ... plays the two works brilliantly. He has the ease of technique, lightly worn, the wit, the slightly wry charm, the ability to amuse, which are essentially part of the music... it is a very stylish pair of performances ... David Atherton accompanies him deftly, especially with the cleverly scored finale of the Second Concerto. A very enjoyable record."
Gramophone
