Bernard Herrmann: Clarinet Quintet ("Souvenirs de Voyage")
In his film scores (notably, Vertigo), Bernard Herrmann shows influences from Wagner, Debussy and Delius (to name just a few).
In this classical piece, however, his model appears to have been Brahms' wonderful clarinet quintet.
For variety, I have chosen two different interpretations of the work.
