Our Take

Michael Collins McHale's latest offering, "British Clarinet Sonatas," is a delightful romp through the world of classical music. Known for his charismatic stage presence and flawless technique, McHale brings a fresh approach to these traditional British pieces.

The album kicks off with a bang, as McHale expertly navigates the intricate melodies of Gerald Finzi's "Five Bagatelles." His tone is warm and inviting, drawing the listener in with each note. It's like being wrapped in a cozy blanket on a rainy day - comforting and familiar.

Next up is Malcolm Arnold's "Sonatina," a playful and lively piece that showcases McHale's technical prowess. His fingers fly across the keys with ease, effortlessly bringing the music to life. It's impossible not to tap your foot along to the infectious rhythms.

But the real standout on this album is the hauntingly beautiful "Sonata for Clarinet and Piano" by Edward Gregson. McHale's emotional depth shines through in this piece, drawing out every ounce of longing and melancholy from the music. It's a stunning performance that will linger in your mind long after the final notes have faded away.

In conclusion, "British Clarinet Sonatas" is a must-listen for classical music aficionados and casual listeners alike. Michael Collins McHale's artistry and skill elevate these timeless pieces to new heights, making this album a true gem in the world of classical music.
