One of the great clarinet players of the 20th Century, Cahuzac was also prolific as a recording artist. His work as a composer is less widely known, so it is with particular pride that

and strings

notes together with rare photographs.

Complimentary works make up the total programme of this extremely attractive CD; a testament to Louis Cahuzac, one of the most influential and celebrated clarinet players of the 20th century played by Philippe Cuper, Principal Clarinet of the Paris National Opera Orchestra and International soloist on his third CD for Clarinet Classics.

This is a valuable disc of attractive and accessible music and will prove an important addition to clarinet players, enthusiast and CD collectors.
