From Hyperion also comes a record of the two Brahms clarinet sonatas played by Thea King with the pianist Clifford Benson. As JOC suggested in her LP review this team does not quite find Brahms's inner intensity of feeling underneath a surface urbanity, but the playing is otherwise thoughtful and responsive, and Thea King's beautiful quality of tone is always a delight. Here Hyperion's recording is fully satisfactory.
