Jerome describes the title and the music on this recording: "I like the metaphor of the clarinet as a "Nightingale," as Brahms referred to the playing of his friend Richard Muhlfeld. The lyrical, yet melancholic nature of the instrument lends itself well to this reference. The music addresses the singing capabilities of the instrument, with dramatic and humourous departures."
