Xavier Lefèvre – A Revolutionary Tutor: Clarinet Sonatas Volume 2

Wonderfully vivid performance by Colin Lawson in the 2nd volume of recordings devoted to the complete Sonatas for clarinet and cello by Xavier Lefèvre. With cellist Sebastian Comberti, these lesser known sonatas from the set of twelve, are a revelation heard in the instrumentation they were intended; intimate, lyrical and sparkling with tonal colours. A musical delight in the hands of a master.

Following on from Colin Lawson’s highly successful recordings, to hear these sonatas in the instrumentation of clarinet and cello as they were originally written, gives listeners the opportunity to relish the clarity of the clarinet melodies complimented by the cello’s simple harmony. Often heard with an over embellished piano harmony, these recordings are a revelation and fill a vital gap in the recorded catalogue.
