Editorial Reviews
Album Description
Upon hearing friends of his performing the Brahms Clarinet Sontatas, the 27 year-pld Max Reger anoounced “Good, I will write a couple of pieces like that as well!” Three weeks later, the Clarinet Sonatas opp. 48 and 40 were completed! Enormously talented and enormously prolific, Reger cast a long shadow of the last years of German Romanticism and was revered equally by parties are disparet as Hindemith and the Second Vienna School. Sadly, his genius has never really caught on in the English-speaking lands. As this new disc will prove, the misconception of Reger as the man who “recomposed Bach with too many notes” is utterly false. Reger’s music for clarinet and piano is easy to approach, tuneful, accessible and constantly surprising. At times… even WITTY. The duo of Hausmann and Tichman bring out all the nuance of these neglected masterworks in clear-cut, sparkling performances.

Finished playing, uninspired musicianship.......2001-07-16

Whenever I listen to Karl Leister, I wonder how an instrumentalist with such flawless technical mastery can have so little to say musically. His tone is pleasing, his intonation and technique are accurate -- and his interpretations are uninspired.

If you only seek a clear rendition of the music, this recording will suffice. However, if you believe that these works require expressive treatment, look elsewhere.

von weber german master.......2001-01-24

carl von weber is one of the best german composers that ever lived he is as good as mozart or bach but this composer has fallen into obscurity and i do not know why this recording is powerful and passionate
