Two Michaels – Collins and McHale – provided the musical nourishment in today’s lunchtime recital from Wigmore Hall, a feast of classic clarinet sonatas.

An evening of “French Beauties and Swedish Beasts” from the Swedish clarinettist, demonstrating phenomenal tone and dare-devil risk-taking. 

The Swedish clarinetist's recital in Alice Tully Hall, part of the Great Performers at Lincoln Center series, was as thrilling and rewarding as any before. 

Watery September sunshine and an autumnal air hung over Wigmore Hall, appropriate conditions for a recital of late clarinet sonatas.

Marc-André Hamelin, Martin Fröst and Anthony Marwood join forces at Wigmore Hall in a great selection of mainly 20th century classics by Debussy, Stravinsky, Bartók and Poulenc.

This was a fine demonstration of the fact that the Three Choirs Festival is not just about singing. Nor is it confined to the cathedral, as this morning’s recital took place in the elegance of Hereford’s Shirehall.

Amici’s unique Friday night performance entitled Critics’ Choice entertained requests from three notable music critics and connoisseurs from the greater Toronto area. It also featured a composition by Ezra John Pablo, a grade 12 student in the Claude Watson Arts Program at Earl Haig Secondary School.
