The earliest works on this recording are the Intermezzi and the Sonata by Charles Villiers Stanford, who made no secret of his debt to Brahms. Stanford's music is poised yet seductive and, in this case, beautifully conceived for both instruments. Known for the strength of his vocal music, Gerald Finzi also makes the clarinet sing in his Five Bagatelles composed during WW II. Light and touching, they appear as a personal reinterpretation of the baroque dances found in Bach's instrumental suites.
