Notes

For his first release on Alpha, the clarinetist and conductor Jörg Widmann celebrates the music of a composer who wrote some of the finest pieces ever devoted to his instrument: Carl Maria von Weber. With the ensemble of which he is principal conductor, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, he has recorded the Clarinet Quintet (in its version with string ensemble) and the Concertino, composed in 1811 and 1815 respectively, along with the ever-popular Overture to Der Freischütz. The pianist Denis Kozhukhin joins Widmann to perform the Grand Duo concertant. This album is the first in a series of recordings that will also give us a chance to meet Jörg Widmann in his role as one of the most active composers of his generation.

Reviews

**** Excellent Album

Augustin Javel - Classica magazine (France) - November 2020

Performance ***** Recording *****

“… It’s that dramatic tension which he [Widmann] conveys so vividly in these very personal performances which remind us that besides being a fine clarinettist Widman is a brilliantly inventive composer. There’s a strong element of spontaneity and risk-taking about his playing… It’s [Grand Duo Concertante] a piece which manages to combine virtuosity and sensuousness, and Widman and his pianist Denis Kozhukin bring out both qualities admirably.”

Misha Donat – BBC Music magazine – November 2020

“… very varied and excellent Weber CD.” *****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 13 September 2020
