Description:

Beautiful and passionate clarinet music. A collection of romantic works by the prince of the clarinet world. Andreas Ottensamer, principal clarinetist of the Berlin Philharmonic, is a thoroughbred son of the late Ernst Ottensamer's father and brother Daniel, both principal clarinetists of the Vienna Philharmonic. He is not only the principal clarinetist of one of the world's top orchestras, but also a first-class soloist and chamber musician. He is not only a favorite of classical music fans, but also an idol of middle and high school brass band fans. In addition to Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 1, one of the most important works for clarinet, and the Concerto Grand Duet, a virtuoso work, this recording features new arrangements of romantic works by Brahms and Mendelssohn. The concertos are performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Mariss Jansons, one of the most powerful duos in the world today. The pianist for the other pieces is Yuja Wang, one of the hottest virtuosos in the world today, who gives a fresh performance. Universal Music/IMS
