Although it's an anthology, and so includes other material (such as from the Souterliedeken) that was already fairly well understood, this is the first recording I've heard that really makes sense of Clement's (often Clemens) larger forms, and in particular their bi-modality. Hopefully some more focused programs will appear, and we'll have more opportunity to explore his output aurally. (I.e. this is something of a landmark release, although I managed not to notice it at the time.)
