Dear CASSWA brains-trust:
I’m looking for music for the Grand Trio for clarinet, cello and piano by Eduard von Lannoy (Op 15). A fairly extensive web search has failed to produce any results. If anyone has the music, could you let me know the name of the publisher? Regards, MH

I am looking to buy my daughter a Buffet R13 preferably 2nd hand, does anyone know of one for sale? Alternatively a hint on where to look for one! Melbourne Brass & Woodwind have one at the moment, is it safe to purchase and what would be the best method of getting to Perth.
Many thanks

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your post. I don’t actually own a recording of this gorgeous work myself. A quick glance at iTunes has me leaning towards a disc by Charles West which has some other great works on it. I like the sound he makes, his intonation is excellent and it seems well recorded.

Funnily enough, Amazon lists the composer as the film composer Elmer Bernstein which is incorrect. It’s definitely Leonard. (incidentally they’re no relation).

Nice thing about iTunes though is you can buy what you need, although having a disc in your hand with liner notes is always nice too.

Have fun with this gorgeous two movement work. Make sure you let us know when you’re doing it!

A question. I’m learning the Bernstein Clarinet Sonata for a performance later this year. I’m sure many of you know this work, but it’s new to me. Can you recommend a favourite recording of it and a few words about why it’s your favourite. Regards and best wishes.
