If you want to bask in this sonata’s autumnal glow, these players’ expressively meticulous performance will do very nicely indeed.

Tamestit and Tiberghien find a wealth of light and space in the two sonatas, bringing a folksy, homespun charm to the third movement of No. 1 and plenty of impish energy to its finale; the two song-transcriptions, too, are beautifully done, with some magical pianissimo playing from both artists in the evergreen lullaby. And it’s wonderful to hear the two Op. 91 songs with bass-baritone for a change, Goerne’s dark, nutty timbre like luxury coffee to Tamestit’s cream.

If the fiery F minor is best heard on the clarinet, the blander E flat arguably benefits from the viola’s more incisive tone. Fine performances; the near-contemporary 1899 Bechstein piano is ideal.
