Brahms:
- Clarinet Sonatas and Clarinet Trio.
The 20-year-old clarinetist Raphaël Sévère, and pianist Adam Laloum demonstrate that in the burnished colors of these sonatas, the composer chose the clarinet to bid a melancholy farewell to the world.
Cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière joins them for the wonderful Trio Op.114, also by Johannes Brahms.
As such, these three musician friends collaborate on this recording for a program devoted to Johannes Brahms’ musical creations.
