	THE VOICE OF THE CLARINET CRISTO BARRIOS (clarinet), CLINTON CORMANY (piano) Along with the cello, the clarinet is often regarded as the most "voice-like" expressive instrument. In a unique programme, 20 art-songs and lieder (and one swing classic!) have been newly arranged for clarinet and piano. The result is a beautiful, unusual and uplifting recital with music from across the world.

	“There is of course lots of lovely, even cosy, deliquescent melody around. Cristo Barrios makes a nice individual sound, reedier than some, and has great breath-control; and I am sure he has absorbed all the texts, which are generously printed in full in the booklet. There is no shortage of beautiful moments, and even surprises.” – Piers Burton-Page (International Record Review)
	“This is a feast for those addicted to the liquid legato of the clarinet. The hero here is Cristo Barrios and his accomplished partner is Clinton Cormany. Together they put forward a largely delightful collection.” – Jonathan Woolf (MusicWeb)
