Danish Chamber Players

Which wind instrument has the greatest range of expression, can squeal like a tram on rusty rails (Carl Nielsen) or creep into the heart as in Mozart's last solo concerto for, yes, precisely the clarinet.

The clarinet also sent Beethoven and Brahms into ecstasy, but here at this portrait concert, the Ensemble's new clarinetist, Frederik von Würden, shows that there are other and more expressions in the diverse Clarinet. Monet blue and other pastel colors by Debussy, classical-sounding chamber music by Mel Bonis, the great romantic sound in Paul Juon's trio, the completely modern, where all the outer limits of the clarinet are almost blown up in a solo sonata by Denisov and the oriental tone language by Katchaturian.
