Saxophone and strings in midcentury English music review
A light enjoyable pastoral saxophone reading contrasts with a two work Robert Simpson programme. Clinch plays the sax appealingly while the Lovelock pieces and Simpson’s String Quartet No1 and Clarinet Quintet offer solid English chamber writing with integrated textures and a thoughtful finale. The Unicorn recording is well balanced and the set recommended for serious collections.
