Jon Nakamatsu (piano) & Jon Manasse (clarinet) Dedicated to the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld, these two
sonatas are the fruit of a close friendship which helped
Brahms rediscover both the instrument and his own appetite
for composition at the age of nearly 60.With their deeply
Viennese atmosphere they reflect at once the solid
experience of a long career and the sheer delight of writing
for pleasure. “Impressive instrumental mastery and good rapport. But both performances are dogged by a recorded balance which places Nakamatsu's forceful piano playing in the foreground, at the expense of Manasse's soft-grained clarinet.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 **** “Jon Manasse has a lovely, soft tone, rich in the lower register, singing but never shrill in the upper, and warm even in the weaker centre of the instrument. He phrases beautifully, with a sense of the long line that characterises Brahms's melodies here even when they are built up of shorter component parts.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
