The first joint album by the German composer and clarinetist Jörg Widmann with the Hungarian-born exceptional pianist András Schif is released through ECM. The focus of the publication is the two late clarinet sonatas by Johannes Brahms. In addition, the album will contain Intermezzi for piano solo, which Jörg Widmann composed especially for András Schiff and dedicated to him.
Widmann and Schiff have been friends of artists for many years. The two musicians share a tendency towards the greatly reduced style that Brahms developed in his late piano works and clarinet sonatas. With his own interludes, Widmann reacts to the meditative world of sounds of the late Brahms , whose “succinct brevity” and “wistful beauty” attracts him. With the new recording project, the composer would like to pay homage to his “childhood sweetheart Brahms”, who “has flared up again for several years”.
The album was recorded in the historic Reitstadel in the Upper Palatinate district town of Neumarkt and produced by Manfred Eicher.
