In the latest Gramophone Podcast, the clarinettist Michael Collins talks to Gramophone's Editor-in-Chief James Jolly about Bernhard Crusell's groundbreaking impact on the instrument, his three concertos, and recording and conducting at the same time. His new Chandos recording of the concertos - which prompted Gramophone critic Jeremy Nicholas to describe it as 'an altogether remarkable tour de force' – is available now from Chandos, and was Gramophone's June Recording of the Month.
