Description
Grigory Frid’s politically and morally ambitious operas have made him known to a broader public even outside his native Russia. His chamber music is not so popular, but it too holds discoveries in store, as John Finucane and Elisaveta Blumina impressively demonstrate on this recording premiere of his two clarinet sonatas.
Musical wit, tonal beauty, and virtuosity in the treatment of
tonality and instrumentation reveal a compositional talent stimulated by exchanges with the greatest of Frid’s times.
Elisaveta Blumina is especially fond of much too little known music from the twentieth and twenty first centuries. She received an ECHO Klassik award for her trio recording with works by Françaix, Poulenc, and Previn.
With John Finucane she now continues this commitment; recorded in the finest Super Audio CD quality, this new discovery will make all your listening dreams come true.
