Reviews

In the Cello Concerto Yo Yo Ma, in his début recording, responds with the utmost sensitivity, sometimes playing on a more thread of tone in his magical account of the Andante quieto. His is not a big performance but a gently inspired one, and many will like his lightness of touch in the finale. The Clarinet Concerto is a comparable masterpiece. ... John Denman’s performance is entirely seductive, and in both works Vernon Handley’s sesnsitive accompaniments bring first-rate playing while the recording is of Lyrita’s usual excellence. A treasurable disc.
