Continental connections run through Michael Collins’s recital. He opens with Gerald Finzi’s quintessentially English Bagatelles, before embracing the Sonatina by Martinů, written in post-war New York yet infused with the vitality of pre-war Paris, and music by two members of Les Six. The programme ends with the lyrical Clarinet Sonata by Arnold Cooke, a Cambridge-educated Yorkshireman who studied with Paul Hindemith in Berlin in the 1920s.
