"Quasi Morendo"....
ECM New Series 24/96 via Qobuz Studio. New Release 2019.
Reto Bieri (clarinet) and Meta4.
Sciarrino
Let me Die before I wake (for solo clarinet)
Brahms
Clarinet Quintet
Pesson
Nebenstück (for Clarinet & String Quartet)
Utterly extraordinary performance of the Quintet, of wonderful delicacy, freedom of phrase and natural rubato, with endlessly fine nuances of expression. Played bar-to-bar, as if remade.
You won't need comparisons to hear just how special this is.
Haunting, barely-there pre-post-Brahmsian-echoes from Sciarrino and Pesson, the latter a very free adaptation of Brahms OP.10/4 Ballade. Less an arrangement, more of an estrangement...
Let me Die before I wake is an almost-perception of a clarinet in a dream, wisps and sighs from a distant room...
