This is the latest release in MPR’s series of chamber music by the excellent and unduly neglected English composer Arnold Cooke, all performed by The Pleyel Ensemble. This attractive programme includes the Trio for clarinet, violoncello and piano, the Quartet for flute, clarinet, violoncello and piano, the Sonatina for alto flute and piano and various short pieces for flute and piano and for clarinet and piano. As you will have come to expect, all the performances are superb as is the recording. Cooke lived for many years in Whetsted Road, Five Oak Green, Kent which is also by coincidence the home of MPR, an area which features hop gardens, oast houses and orchards full with apples, pears and blackcurrants.
