An English Fantasy

£9.99£14.99

World-renowned clarinettist Emma Johnson has recorded Will Todd’s Clarinet Concerto with the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Philip Ellis on the new album An English Fantasy on the Nimbus label. An English Fantasy features recordings of four clarinet concertos written by four English composers Will Todd, John Dankworth, Patrick Hawes, and Paul Reade.  The CD debuted at number 3 in the Classical Charts.

“Delightful new repertoire for the clarinet to savour” Classic FM

“Todd and Dankworth’s jazzy and urbane works nicely complement Hawes’s Finzi-like Concerto, all given committed performances by their dedicatee. Reade’s Victorian Kitchen Garden Suite is a pleasant makeweight.” BBC Music Magazine
