Product Description Larry Combs, one of the world's most respected clarinetists, joined the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in 1974 and was appointed principal clarinet by Sir Georg Solti in 1978. He has since appeared as concerto soloist with the Orchestra on numerous occasions. Prior to joining the Chicago Symphony, he was a member of the New Orleans, Montreal, and Santa Fe Opera orchestras. This is the premiere recording of Rózsa's Sonata for Clarinet Solo Review The CD is a showcase for Larry Combs, distinguished long-time clarinetist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is particularly associated with the solo pieces by Rózsa, having at one time owned the only copies of them and he plays them to the manner born. --Fanfare, Jan/Feb 2006There is a great deal of high quality playing demonstrated by Larry Combs and his colleagues throughout these selected works. They show great lucidity and display virtuosic playing across the varied styles of the selected composers. It is refreshing to be exposed to some less-known works... --Catherine Burton, Australian Clarinet and SaxophoneYour (Combs) tone is beautiful, the tempi are correct and the interpretation convincing. What more can a composer ask for? --Miklos Rózsa, Composer 1907-1995
