MOZART: CLARINET CONCERTO FLU

This never-before-heard jazz classic documents one of the most historically important bands in all of jazz history. This is the first professionally recorded full-length album by two of jazz's preeminent legends at the height of their powers. This beautifully-recorded concert has been brilliantly restored and mastered, capturing both the power and nuance of Mon and Trane.

2019 release. In the latest chapter in Andr�s Schiff's ongoing documentation of Franz Schubert's music, the great pianist plays the Four Impromptus D 899, and compositions from 1828, the last year of Schubert's too brief life: The Three Pieces D 946 ("impromptus in all but name" notes Misha Donat in the CD booklet), the C minor Sonata D 958 and the A major Sonata D 959. Schiff again chooses to use his fortepiano made by Franz Brodmann in Vienna, around 1820. "It is to me ideally suited to Schubert's keyboard works," he has said. There is something quintessentially Viennese in it's timbre, it's tender mellowness, it's melancholic cantabilit�." Critics have agreed, unanimous also in their praise of Schiff s interpretations: "I cannot think of anyone of his calibre who has mastered the fortepiano as well as the modern piano and shown such distinction on both," wrote Stephen Plaistow in an Editor's Choice review in Gramophone. "In Schubert Schiff has a claim to be considered sovereign among today's players, carrying forward the reading and interpretation of him into areas that others have not fully explored."
