French Music for Clarinet and Piano

Ermanno Veglianti, clarinet Enrico Maria Polimanti, piano
Naxos Digital Exclusives 9.70166

French composers have always shown a particular skill in the handling of wind instruments. This is exemplified in the present programme of French clarinet music, featuring one of the last compositions of the veteran Camille Saint-Saëns, coupled with works by Debussy, and then by composers of a younger generation, all associated in the 1920s with Les Six, Milhaud, Poulenc, Honegger and Tailleferre. The performers Ermanno Veglianti and Enrico Maria Polimanti have won particular distinction in the interpretation of this repertoire.
