Re: The lyrical clarinet Michael Collins

If you want to hear Michael at his absolute best, listen to the Finzi Concerto from 1981 - his first professional recording with the Ciry of London Sinfornia - Richard Hikcox conducting.

One will rarely hear such a beautiful concerto rendered with such style and beautifully representative of the English Pastoral style. This is the best representation of Michael which has yet to be equalled or surpassed. If you can get this particular recording, do it now while it's still available!

I've spoken with him about this recording and he felt that this was the recording that launched his splendid career (which now seems to include conducting duties of the very same orchestra that he made his recording debut over 30 years ago).

I've always considered this recording the ideal providing the inspiration of every succeeding performance that I give.

Bravo and thank you Michael - and here's hoping that you will re-record this masterpiece once again as the City of London Sinfonia's new music director!
