Conti, Claudio - Sonate Fuer Klarinette Und Klavie 1. Allegro Affanato 2. Vivace 3. Larghetto 4. Prestissimo Assai Conti, Claudio - Sonate Fuer Klarinette Und Klavie 1. Allegro Dolente 2. Vivacissimo 3. Larghetto 4. Allegro Affabile Conti, Claudio - Sonate Fuer Klarinette Und Klavie 1. Moderato 2. Vivace - Adagio - Vivace 3. Adagio 4. Allegretto Con Grazia Conti, Claudio - Albumblatt Es-dur Conti, Claudio - Tarantella G-moll This year 2016 sees the commemoration of the death of Max Reger (1873- 1916), one of the most intriguing and misunderstood German Romantics. Reger’s Clarinet Sonatas Op. 49 are clearly modelled on the clarinet sonatas Op. 120 by Brahms. Characteristic are the long melodic lines, the intense, intertwining dialogue between the two instruments, the extended chromatic harmony and the overall complexity of both texture and counterpoint. Beautiful performance by Italian clarinettist Claudio Conti, prize winner of several international competitions, and Roberta Bambace, piano. Excellent liner notes in English and Italian.
