(CD Compact, Spain)

'Dazzlingly played by Colin Lawson, a sustained tour de force of virtuosity, coupled with a depth and richness of tone one hardly expects from a period clarinet as well as high musicianship. Anyone interested in the clarinet and its early repertory should be sure to try this disc' (Gramophone)
