XX Century Chamber Music, for Violin, Clarinet and Piano

XX Century Chamber Music, for Violin, Clarinet and Piano
Luigi Magistrelli, clarinet
Giambattista Pianezzola, violin
Ruta Stadalnykaite, piano

Since ever the violin and the clarinet had been considered some of the most expressive instruments, having a real suitable soul capable to get out the inner feelings in a very effective way. So, I think that to put them together with a piano accompaniment had been a real fulfilment! The repertoire for this medium is not so large but we fortunately have a few small masterpieces to perform. Here on this compact we thought to record most of them.
All these compositions belong, not by coincidence, to the modern period and had been written by composers who had a high consideration of both, violin and clarinet, in the fields of orchestral and chamber music.
