The very first softly lilting and seemingly weightless clarinet tone on this new GENUIN CD already carries you off into the wondrous depths of German Romanticism. Francois Benda has selected works on this disc by both Robert and Clara Schumann in what is now his third Artist Consort series release. His playing is so imbued with fantasy, so passionate, and so perfectly melded with Elina Gotsouliak’s piano accompaniment that it is perfectly irrelevant whether a work is by Robert or by Clara Schumann, or whether it was originally scored for French horn, oboe or solo voice. Let these romances and whisk you off into an enchanted fairytale land...
"Their intuitive ensemble playing creates a sense of balance which puts the highly Romantic works of Robert and Clara Schumann in a very natural light without sacrificing any of the works’ profundity."
