Classics Today Reviews Forgotten Romantics CD
Jed Distler writes:
Notwithstanding this CD’s “Forgotten Romantics” title, these three clarinet sonatas have appeared before on CD, yet it’s good to bring them together, especially with such fine and terrifically engineered performances as we have here. Not only are clarinetist Guy Yehuda and veteran pianist Ralph Votapek exceptional instrumentalists, they also play off of and react to one another as if they’ve been doing so forever.
An outstanding release

Critically acclaimed clarinetist Guy Yehuda and pianist Ralph Votapek present this collection of sonatas as a revival of three “Forgotten Romantics” - Felix August Berhnard Draeseke, Charles Villiers Stanford and Giacomo Setaccioli - who offer their own individual and impressive mark on the genre and are worth remembering.
