About

Two great artists, pianist András Schiff and composer/clarinettist Jörg Widmann, join forces for the first time on record, performing Brahms’s late masterpieces, the clarinet sonatas op. 120, written in 1894. In between the sonatas Schiff plays Widmann’s evocative Intermezzi for piano. As Jörg Widmann explains in a programme note, these are works inspired by his friendship with András Schiff and by a shared love of Brahms, to whom they pay tribute. The album was recorded at Neumarkt’s Historischer Reitstadel.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

May/June 2021

[Brahms] The equality of the two voices goes beyond the usual soloist with piano accompaniment. This is the secret, I think, that makes these performances compelling no matter how reflective, quiet, and private the music becomes. Anyone who loves these two staples of the clarinet repertoire will find what Widmann and Schiff have to say very rewarding and insightful.
