Description:

This Is the Ultimate in Mellow SoundIn the first installment of a series in which principal players from the Vienna Philharmonic introduce the charm of orchestral instruments through their performances and booklet commentary, clarinetist Schmidl takes the stage. With nearly 70 minutes to savor a tone of supreme smoothness, this is truly a moment of pure bliss. While chamber music centered on the clarinet and piano is a somewhat niche genre, supported by the superb performances, this album is full of discoveries that will make you exclaim, I cant believe such hidden gems exist! Also particularly noteworthy are the superb performances by the supporting musiciansincluding Madoka Inuiwho have deep ties to Vienna. We are confident you will thoroughly enjoy the delights of chamber music.Naxos Japan
