About

Michael Collins MBE is one of the most complete musicians of his generation. Continuing his distinguished career as a soloist, he has in recent years also become highly regarded as a conductor and in 2010 took up the position as Principal Conductor of City of London Sinfonia; he works with leading orchestras around the world both as a soloist and as a conductor.

Committed for many years to expanding the repertoire of the clarinet, he has premiered works by some of today’s most highly regarded composers, including John Adams, Elliott Carter, Brett Dean, and Mark-Anthony Turnage. In addition to commissioning and supporting new compositions, he is also a champion of well-crafted arrangements for the clarinet of works originally for other instruments. It is this area of his work that is so vividly demonstrated in the Chandos series The Lyrical Clarinet, of which this is the third volume. Most of the arrangements on this album were made by the pianist Michael McHale, who accompanies Michael Collins on the recording.

Reviews

“…The recording is excellent, without a hint of harshness when Michael Collins hits the high notes. The sound is clear without being too close and the balance between piano and clarinet is exemplary…”

Chris Ramsden – MusicWeb-International.com – May 2020

“… It should be said at once that Michael Collins lavishes as much care, musicality and technical brilliance, beauty of tone and expressivity on these lollipops as would do on a clarinet sonata or any other ‘bigger’ piece. For instance his reading of Brahms’s Hungarian dance has true gypsy magic. It’s utterly relevant that he plays this piece on the clarinet, since the instrument is frequently heard in the Hungarian folk music, together with the violin and cimbalom… For clarinettists and lovers of the clarinet this should be obligatory listening…”

Göran Forsling MusicWeb-International.com – April 2020

Performance **** Recording ****

“…The one original work is Philippe Gaubert’s Fantaisie, written in 1911 … as a Paris Conservatoire test piece, with a virtuoso finish that Collins brings off in spectacular style.”

Malcolm Hayes – BBC Music magazine – April 2020

Editor’s Choice – Chamber Section

“…The arrangement for clarinet and piano of Franck’s Violin Sonata is by Collins himself … it works so well with only a few minor adjustments that you wonder why is has not been attempted before (or so seldom)… It’s a triumph… one has to salute the extraordinary facility and irresistibly seductive, lyrical grace of Michael Collins’s playing, surely one of his instrument’s greatest living exponents.”

Jeremy Nicholas – Gramophone magazine – February 2020
