Impressions de France on CD

In France, the Conservatoire de Paris played an active role in spreading the clarinet's popularity, and French composers wrote numerous studies, competition pieces and sonatas for the instrument. Critics around the world have unanimously praised the virtuosity, musicality, and clarity with which clarinetist Andre Moisan plays. A distinguished soloist and chamber musician since 1977, Moisan has risen to the top rank of performers.
