Composed in 1943 by the English composer John Ireland (1872–1962), the Fantasy-Sonata is regarded as one of the twentieth century’s masterpieces of the English clarinet repertoire, and also as Ireland’s most significant chamber work.

I met the Belgian clarinettist Ronald Van Spaendonck in November 2018, when he came to the city of Buenos Aires

One of the clarinetists that I admire the most is Nicolas Baldeyrou, an outstanding figure, who, in addition to being a technically super virtuoso, has a balanced and sober musicality, always at the service of the work.
