Customer Reviews

Good and Bad
This album gives a good look at the "Classic" 20th Cent. Music for Unaccompanied Clarinet. The music is written to follow certain accepted forms or to upset them (sometimes), and it is good at showing the Virtuosity of the performer. Paul Meyer is technically excellent and gives a good performance. Despite all this, somehow the album as a whole did not really inspire me.

very virtuosic
The pieces on this cd are very difficult to perform & on this cd are performed so perfectly. A great collection of 20th century music.

Great cd
Paul Meyer plays incredibly here. I can't imagine why anyone would be disappointed with his sound. No, it's not the French sound of 40 years ago, but it's a beautiful, flexible sound that works beautifully in these pieces. The pieces on the cd are some of the high points in clarinet literature in the twentieth century. The Berio Sequenza especially is an incredible piece of music for the clarinet. Anyone interested in the clarinet should have this cd.
