Reviews in this space mostly concentrate on international artists, big-name orchestras and venerable composers. For a change, here’s a collection of music that should be within comfortable reach of talented players at home, music that would be invaluable to anyone studying the clarinet. A charmingly lyrical selection of single pieces, sonatas and fantasias from Derry-born composer Roma Cafolla, it won’t set the world on fire but will make a solid addition to the chamber repertoire. Cafolla was inspired to write by Leslie Craven, principal clarinet at Welsh National Opera, who plays here with his trademark creamy tone. Pianist Yoko Misumi, violinist Lana Trotovsek, harpist Katherine Thomas and flautist Boris Bizjak make valuable contributions.
