Baermann & Ries - Clarinet Music Collection

Ferdinand Ries and Heinrich Baermann were among the pioneers who helped establish the clarinet as one of the most expressive solo instruments of the early Romantic era. This album brings together Ries's dramatic and virtuosic Clarinet Sonata in G minor, Op. 2 and three richly melodic Clarinet Quintets by the celebrated clarinettist-composer Heinrich Baermann, whose artistry inspired works by Weber, Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer.

A student of Beethoven, Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838) combined Classical clarity with a distinctly Romantic sensibility. His Clarinet Sonata in G minor, Op. 2 showcases the instrument's lyrical warmth and technical brilliance in a work of striking contrasts and emotional depth. Heinrich Baermann (1784-1847), one of the greatest clarinet virtuosos of his age, composed chamber works that effortlessly blend operatic cantabile, elegant craftsmanship and dazzling solo writing. His Clarinet Quintets, Opp. 19 and 22, reveal both the expressive possibilities of the instrument and the intimate dialogue between clarinet and string quartet.

These charming and unjustly neglected masterpieces offer a fascinating glimpse into the flourishing clarinet culture of the early nineteenth century.
