麥可．柯林斯是當代最完整的音樂家. 他持續以獨奏家為顯著的事業在最近幾年也被公認為是一位指揮家, 並且在2010年接下倫敦市立交響樂團首席指揮職務. 他也和世界各地優秀的樂團以獨奏家兼指揮的身分一起合作. 在多年致力於擴充豎笛的曲目後, 他曾經首度表演過一些當今最受尊敬的作曲家們的作品, 包含了約翰亞當斯, 艾略特卡特, 布瑞特狄恩, 馬克-安東尼.圖納吉(Mark-Anthony Turnage). 除了訂製與支持新的編曲之外, 他也是一位專精於改編原本是給其他樂器的作品給豎笛的先驅者. 這張Chandos廠牌一系列的(抒情豎笛)中的第三集非常生動地展現了他這一塊工作領域. 這張專輯中大多數的改編曲是搭配柯林斯錄音的鋼琴師麥可.麥克哈爾所寫.

Michael Collins MBE is one of the most complete musicians of his generation. Continuing his distinguished career as a soloist, he has in recent years also become highly regarded as a conductor and in 2010 took up the position as Principal Conductor of City of London Sinfonia; he works with leading orchestras around the world both as a soloist and as a conductor. Committed for many years to expanding the repertoire of the clarinet, he has premiered works by some of today's most highly regarded composers, including John Adams, Elliott Carter, Brett Dean, and Mark-Anthony Turnage. In addition to commissioning and supporting new compositions, he is also a champion of well-crafted arrangements for the clarinet of works originally for other instruments. It is this area of his work that is so vividly demonstrated in the Chandos series The Lyrical Clarinet, of which this is the third volume. Most of the arrangements on this album were made by the pianist Michael McHale, who accompanies Michael Collins on the recording.
