Editorial Reviews

Larry Combs, one of the world's most respected clarinetists, joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1974 and was appointed principal clarinet by Sir Georg Solti in 1978. He has since appeared as concerto soloist with the Orchestra on numerous occasions. Prior to joining the Chicago Symphony, he was a member of the New Orleans, Montreal, and Santa Fe Opera orchestras. This is the premiere recording of Rózsa's Sonata for Clarinet Solo

Larry Combs has a wonderful feel for the music of Rozsa, who seems to have been largely overlooked for years. This recording is inspiring to all clarinetists.

WOW! Fantastic! Really worth more than five stars, but I can't give it any more.
