Fantasías Mediterráneas (1997)

Clarinet Classics presents a recital of Spanish clarinet music given by the pre-eminent Spanish clarinettist Joan Enric Lluna. The second most popular instrument in Spain, there is a wealth of music written for the clarinet by Spanish composers, some of which is represented on this CD. This CD follows in the tradition of the French Solo de Concours; melodic in style and technically dazzling.
