Description:
The new Arcanto Quartet disc, featuring the remarkable clarinetist Wittmann, the most noble Clarinet Quintet & the extraordinary String Quartet No. 15, with star players, has won the Academy Award two years in a row, is active on the concert scene, and has always been in the spotlight. Mozart. The guest performer is the remarkable clarinetist Jörg Wittmann in a fascinating program of the Clarinet Quintet and the String Quartet No. 15. The opening chords of the Clarinet Quintet gave me goose bumps. The fragrance of the ascending chords of the clarinet played by Wittmann drew you into a different world at once. The overall sweetness of the expression is restrained, and this seems to enhance the original splendor and nobility of the work.String Quartet No. 15 in D minor is the only piece in the Haydn set in a minor key, and the darkness of this work is brought out by the Arcandt Quartet's expression that is devoid of any waste. The mysterious darkness of the first movement, the vain brightness of the major part of the trio in the third movement, and the noble sadness of the variations in the last movement, all of them are always beautiful, but the performance is filled with a sense of magnificent pessimism. The star-studded Alcanto-Quartet was formed in 2002. The quartet has released four CDs (Bartók [out of print], Brahms [out of print], Debussy, Ravel & Dutilleux [HMC902067/KKC5108], Schubert [HMC902106/KKC5235], and a SACD box set available only in Japan [HMSA0006/4CD (including some that are out of print)]), but it is a performance filled with unusual tension and has always been the center of attention on the music scene.Attention is focused on this long-awaited new release! Jörg Wittmann (b.1973) is a composer and clarinetist of note. Born in Munich, he studied clarinet with Gerd Starke at the Munich University of Music and later with Charles Neidich at Juilliard. He studied composition with Rihm and Henze, and has premiered clarinet concertos dedicated to him by them and various other composers. He has performed with the world's most famous orchestras and is also a composer of exceptional ability. He is a professor of both clarinet and composition at the Freiburg University of Music.
