Author:
This is all delightful melodic stuff, satisfying if not too demanding and the clarinet playing of Karl Leister is a dream, smooth and delicate in the awkward lower register, beautifully controlled but provoking excitement when called for. The recording balance greatly favours him but it is right to do so for in the main the orchestra is a backcloth in these works. Now and again they strike forth and at such times the string ensemble exhibits a little roughness, but it soon passes. These are radio studio recordings, not too dry and with no great stereo spread. Most enjoyable.'
