Music for Clarinet and Piano

Max Reger's three clarinet sonatas form the main course of this beautifully rendered recital. The two op. 49 sonatas and the late op. 107 sonata, when heard together, perfectly illustrate that turbulent period of transition from the Romantic era to the twentieth century. Alan R. Kay, Principal Clarinetist of Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Jon Klibonoff, first prize winner of the Kosciuszko Chopin Competition, deliver performances that are simultaneously intimate and full of instrumental virtuosity.
