Description

An eclectic artist, Michel Portal transforms the clarinet into a truly enchanting instrument, displaying unparalleled virtuosity. Jean-Claude Pennetier, a distinguished pianist of the French school, is renowned for his refined playing, while the Quatuor Ysaÿe stands among the most eminent ensembles of its generation.

From this meeting of artists emerges a remarkable clarity and expressiveness, where each individuality brings forth a wealth of sound, inventiveness, and freshness, breathing new life into these delicate masterpieces.

This interpretation embraces a refined classicism in the tradition of the Amadeus Quartet, bathed in a gentle light and a spirit of freedom. A striking sense of dialogue unfolds throughout — a constant interplay of musical questions and answers.
