Chambery: “chamber-y.” Six chamber music pieces by Tobias Klein: a trio, four duets and a solo piece, all with bass clarinet. A duet by Enno Poppe rounds out the program.
‘This album (Chambery, 2018) is truly outstanding and represents bass clarinet playing and chamber music at the highest level. Aside from the beautiful musicianship within each track, it must also be mentioned that the album as a whole has a clear artistic arc and musical clarity that is a welcome addition to the world of contemporary music and clarinet recordings.’
