Immerse yourself in the captivating world of chamber music with Dimitri Ashkenazy's "クラリティ," a remarkable collaboration between the renowned clarinetist and his father, the esteemed pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy. Released in 2007 under the CRYSTON label, this album is a testament to their musical prowess and the deep bond they share.
"クラリティ" is a journey through a diverse range of compositions, spanning works by Robert Schumann, Shostakovich, and more. The album opens with Schumann's "3つのロマンス, 作品 94," a trio of romantic pieces that showcase the delicate interplay between the clarinet and piano. The Ashkenazys then take you on a whirlwind tour of Schumann's "4つの小品, 作品 5," a set of four contrasting pieces that highlight the versatility of the clarinet.
The heart of the album lies in the "ダンス・プレリュード" suite, a collection of five dance-inspired preludes that are as playful as they are profound. Dimitri Ashkenazy's clarinet dances and soars, while Vladimir Ashkenazy's piano provides a solid and sensitive foundation.
The album concludes with two clarinet sonatas, one in A minor and the other in B-flat major, both showcasing the Ashkenazys' technical brilliance and emotional depth. The final track, a lullaby, is a tender and intimate farewell that leaves you with a sense of peace and satisfaction.
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 5 minutes, "クラリティ" is a feast for the ears that will leave you eager for more. Whether you're a seasoned chamber music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to captivate and inspire you. So sit back, relax, and let the Ashkenazys take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
