cookiebaker64's Full Review: French Portraits / Ricardo Morales, Michael Cherto...
Wow! If you haven't heard Ricardo Morales play the clarinet, you NEED to buy this! The Bozza "Bucolique" is amazing! Morales gets a gorgeous, even tone in all ranges of the clarinet. Both Morales and Chertok are fantastic musicians. Morales is possibly the best clarinetist in the world right now.

Ricardo Morales, principle clarinetist of the Philadelphia Orchestra and Clarinet professor at the Julliard School, is truly one of the greatest living clarinetists, possible even the best in the world. His control of the instrument becomes apparent in his masterful renditions of some of the French repertoire. This recording is also masterfully accompanied by Michael Chertok, Piano Soloist, who breaths further dept into Morales' performance. The best the clarinet world has to offer.
