Brahms. Clarinet Sonatas. Severe/julien-laferriere

Raphaël Sévère (clarinet), Victor Julien-Laferrière (cello), Adam Laloum (piano)

Composed by: Brahms: Clarinet Sonatas Nos.1 & 2, Clarinet Trio

Twenty-year-old clarinetist Raphaël Sévère, blessed with a magnificent technique and glowing tone, is featured on this album of chamber music by Brahms. He is joined by pianist Adam Laloum, whose previous release on Mirare already explored Brahmsian twilights. Together they demonstrate that, in the burnished autumnal colors of the Clarinet Sonatas, the composer chose the instrument to bid a melancholy farewell to the world. Cellist Victor Julien-Laferrière joins the duo for the elegiac Clarinet Trio.
