Two major clarinet figures, two generations of players from the 20th century. Frederick Thurston  and Thea King left their indelible mark through their reputation and influence as players and teachers inspiring many of the great British composers writing at the time, to dedicate pieces to them. With a full and informative booklet which includes photographs and copies of letters written to Thurston (included with King’s permission), by prominent composers and artists, this is an invaluable archival release.
