The Bel Canto Clarinet
Colin Bradbury – clarinet & Oliver Davies – piano
Premiere recording
In this wonderful recording, Colin Bradbury brings together a collection of pieces based on well- known arias from Italian opera. Written in the Romantic era these works, by turn tuneful and virtuosic, are treasure troves of music making.
