Johannes Brahms: Clarinet Trio / Andreas Ottensamer, Sol Gabetta, Dejan Lazić (live)

[@abundance6692]

Beautiful performance. Ottensamer's sound is the epitome of the German clarinet sound - dark, rich, smooth. One can imagine one is listening to the legendary Mühlfeld himself. Contemporary descriptions of his playing could easily be describing Ottensamer. Gabetta and Lazic are also world class chamber musicians and contribute equally to the overall brilliance and beauty of the performance. One of the greatest performances of this piece recorded in recent years.

One can hear the harmonious majestic symmetry in the trio. The three performers are virtuosos. It is a pleasure to hear for the first time pianist Dejan Lazić. Fabulous sensitive pianist. Brahms composition is so peaceful it feels one's mind close to the celestial imagination.

[@gerardvreeswijk840]

Came to know this work when I was about 20 and it made a deep impact on me, maybe because it is so dedicated to the clarinet and to close play. I feel Brahms got very personal in his clarinet works. I am now 59 ...

Toutes ces perles que nous ont léguées ces grands artistes ! Ce sont des cadeaux. Oui, je crois qu'il faut les prendre comme de merveilleux cadeaux. Au-delà de la médiocrité, la haine, la vulgarité, la bêtise, il y a le beau, le sublime. Certes, ils avaient du talent, du génie même, mais sans amour et générosité, toutes ces oeuvres seraient oubliées. Ce trio me fait songer au vol d'un oiseau dans le ciel : léger, simple, libre, évident. Toutefois en arrière plan, il y a quelque chose de mélancolique. Une plaie pas vraiment cicatrisée. Quelque chose que l'on essaie de cacher, mais qui est malgré tout, toujours présent en nous.

The musical tone in Brahms Clarinet Trios has the symmetry and beauty of a melancholic mood, as stated by Mr G. Begni. It stirs emotions, suspenseful, gripping melancholic and historical. It reflects Brahms sad and lonely life.

Faithful performance of what the Master wanted to tell us. The merit of "MAIM" - MUSIC AS iNTENDED BY THE MASTER" (as Furtwaengler, Karajan ua showed and played) is somehow rare these days. And this is a correct and wonderful performance. Golden seal.

[@dennisdougherty7538]

Faithful in spirit and clear in technique. The "Master" of composition gives us the musical score along with our knowledge of period stylistic traits. It is now up to us (modern performers and instruments) to bring it to our interpretation. After the pages are finished, the "Master" of composition must relinquish all artistic suggestions to the "Masters" of performance. These performers do just that and are "Masters" of personal interpretation and ensemble agreement. A few things were very modernized and I can't say I agree with them: The higher pitch and the equally tempered piano sort of spoil the artistic enrichment; but with what they had available (including the live set-up restrictions of the audio, they did as fine as we could have expected.

[@mariadelacruzrodriguezpala8610]

My complete admiration!

[@gerardbegni2806]

This trio uses r the same combination than the trio op. 11 of Beethoven, but the clarinet us used in a much more melancholic mood, though its low register. The voice of the cello adds a tone of its own to that mood. This is indeed an autumn song, the automn of Brahms' life, who had decided to stop composing but was pushed to go on when he discovered all the capacities of the clarinet with a virtuoso.

Does the clarinetist use a Legere reed? That's rare. It may be the recording, of course, but his tone sounds a bit thin....light and French.....but thin.

The recording sounds muffled because the mics are behind the clarinet and cello. I get that they wanted to get the piano, but the overall placement of the mics are not correct. Bit of a shame as these three played a beautifully executed performance. (and if there are mics in front of them, then they are simply to far away and I don't think there are any in front of them.)
