Really Great Clarinet Playing

"This CD is some of the best Clarinet playing I have ever heard. If you enjoy listening to the Clarinet or you play the Clarinet, this is a really good CD to hear what the instrument can do and what it is supposed to sound like. If you like this CD you should pick up Collins playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto transposed for Clarinet. That CD also has the Mozart Clarinet Concerto being played on a basset clarinet and is worth getting no matter what type of music you enjoy."

"Michael Collins does the pieces justice. He sails through the technically difficult passages with ease and uses the most beautiful legato playing I've heard in the two slow movements. I also own his cd of the Mozart Concerto and Beethoven's Violin Concerto transposed for clarinet, which is equally if not more impressive. Bravo!"
