Finucane/Blumina - French Holidays: Works by C. Debussy, J. Fran�aix, G. Grovlez, G. Piern�, F. Poulenc, C. Saint-Sa�ns, C.-M. Widor

On John Finucane�s first GENUIN release he joins forces with piano partner Elisaveta Blumina, who has already appeared on three CDs with the Leipzig label. In this exquisite combination of French Romanticism and Post-Romanticism, the virtuoso Irish clarinettist does not betray the slightest hint that he is performing some of the most challenging pieces written for his instrument. Works by Debussy, Fran�aix, Saint-Sa�ns, and Widor are played with such joy and naturalness that we feel transported to the world of Paul Verlaine or Marcel Proust.
