J. Brahms - Sonatas for Clarinet & Piano [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/2004

This is the second full-length album from Tess Parks & Anton Newcombe. The self-titled album contains 9 tracks. InchRight OnInch is the only track that has been released before on the eponymous EP released earlier in 2018. All tracks were recorded at Cobra Studios, Berlin in 2017, the majority of the songs co-written by Tess & Anton.

Danish clarinettist Mathias Kjoller, himself a laureate in the Carl Nielsen Competition and former principal of the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, has collaborated with several highly acclaimed musicians for this recording of chamber music works. The album is a testament to the sound worlds created for the clarinet by Schumann, Reinecke, Debussy, Berg and Corigliano. The connection between composers is foremost an emotional, and very melancholic one, ranging from the highly expressive Three Romances by Schumann to Alban Berg's Adagio, with Corigliano's Soliloquy serving as a sorrowful coda having been written in memoriam of the composer's father. Kjoller writes InchThe first experience I had with the clarinet was listening to my older brother practicing. A few years later it was finally my turn to begin playing an instrument, and the choice was obvious. Since then a combination of dedication and luck have brought me to where I am today - where I can actually do what I love the most everyday to make music.Inch
