Hamilton Clarinet Concerto, Op. 7
Gipps Clarinet Concerto in G minor, Op. 9
Walthew Clarinet Concerto, orch. Alfie Pugh
Ireland Fantasy Sonata, orch. Graham Parlett

“Whether gurgling with rhetorical truculence or sinking into tenderly melancholic sighs, Plane has the [Hamilton Clarinet Concerto’s] full measure, benefiting from a recording balance that puts the soloist first, though the acoustic still leaves plenty of room for the spirited splendours of Martyn Brabbins’s Scottish troops. All told, a thrilling rediscovery from an unfairly neglected composer.”
