Clarinet and flute unite in a programme of
European works, and their affair is sweetened with the addition of a duet by
Heitor Villa-Lobos. The Brazilian composer's Chôro No. 2 sets the stage
for the genius of flutist-composer Kaspar Kummer to find expression in the
artistry of Andreas Blau, sentiments that Wenzel Fuchs translates religiously in
the last sonata of Francis Poulenc. The wind soloists from the Berlin
Philharmonic continue to sigh as one with orchestral support from the piano in
the Tarantella of Camile Saint-Saëns.
Duration: approximately 1 hour 40 minutes,
