Awards and reviews
December 2010
In the serene outer sections of the Adagio he spins the purest, most liquid of lines. But I can't recall a more urgent and impassioned performance of the first movement, or one that draws on a bolder palette of colours...Douglas Boyd draws finely detailed playing from the excellent Winterthur band
October 2010
It is an attractive performance, avoiding the Romantic indulgences which have been retrospectively wished upon this late masterpiece, and making it thereby the more moving and affecting.
11th July 2010
[Di Casola's] brilliant tone and mellifluous technique are allied to immaculate musical instincts: he catches the mood shifts of the opening allegro...and the sublime adagio sounds like an aria without words, “sung” with inexhaustible reserves of breath, astounding dynamic spectrum and palette of colour...An unforgettable performance.
8th July 2010
...a performance [of the Clarinet Concerto] that is operatic in all seriousness – grand in scale and moodily intense. Da Càsola wrings huge emotions from it, while Boyd is very much his equal in seeing the work in terms of high drama...The orchestral sound is unfashionably full, but the playing is consistently fine.
30th July 2010
Fabio Di Càsola manages to convey, in the gorgeous 2nd movement Adagio, something of the character of the lower-register basset clarinet for which the concerto was apparently written.
