Regular collaborators clarinettist Michael Collins and pianist Michael McHale perform a programme that centres around a pair of sonatas by two British composers: Arnold Bax and Joseph Horovitz. In between, they play a work by the Polish-American composer Robert Muczynski. Despite his fascination with mechanical clocks, Muczynski said that this had no bearing on his conception of Time Pieces, but that the work was meant to be imbued with an 鈥榓wareness of the fact that everything exists in time: history, our lives, and, in a special way, music鈥�. The recital begins with a brilliant showpiece by Widor, a composer best known for his organ works, not least his famous Toccata, often heard at weddings.
