Synopsis

Album Description

The two Brahms sonatas were written late in his life when the composer had resolved to retire. They were inspired by the clarinetist Richard M lfeld. By this stage of his career, Brahms had made an essential part of his idiom the technique of allowing themes to develop by a form of variation, and this can be heard at work from the outset in both sonatas. Carl Reinecke's sonata, written around 1885, is unique in absorbing the elements of the tale into a piece of abstract music.

CD Reviews

Great music, great musicians, but...

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Brahms clarinet sonatas are some of my favorite music, and Pahud is a master - nice twist to play it on flute. I know some people like this recording style, but to me it sounds like the listener is in the back of a large hall - why not give me "front row" sound? I've heard Pahud from the front row, and there is a lot more nuance to his playing that you can't hear well on this recording. But I'm picky...still highly recommended."
