The pieces on this release by English clarinetist Emma Johnson hark back to an era of "light music" that incorporated popular influences, rejected contemporary tonal systems, and were often quite vividly programmatic. Profundity and passion are in short supply here, but charm is abundant, and the best of the music, Paul Reade's Suite from The Victorian Kitchen Garden, adapted from the soundtrack to a BBC television series, has the considerable virtue of being exactly what it seems; sample these limpid little movements. The main attraction is Johnson's liquid tone, always a pleasure but especially well suited to this material. All the music was written or adapted for Johnson herself, and the whole coheres very nicely. The Concerto for Emma of Will Todd and the Clarinet Concerto - The Woolwich of Sir John Dankworth (the title refers to to a London neighborhood where Johnson lived) both play off the clarinet's association with jazz in different ways. The final Clarinet Concerto of Patrick Hawes is the weightiest work of the bunch, but does not shift the mood in any fundamental way, and its clarion high note at the end is a fitting conclusion for an ultimately life-affirming collection that reflects the best of English music and music-making.
