Daniel Ottensamer
The Clarinet Trio Anthology
Daniel Ottensamer (principal clarinet of the Vienna Philharmonic), Stephan Koncz (cellist of the Berlin Philharmonic) and pianist Christoph Traxler, three Austrian artists who have known each other since childhood, dedicated themselves to a vast and worldwide unique project: A comprehensive recording of the repertoire for clarinet, cello & piano called „The Clarinet Trio Anthology“.
The history of this instrumental formation is quite remarkable as a great number of famous composers - starting with Ludwig van Beethoven and Johannes Brahms - as well as many of their peers, including Max Bruch, Gabriel Fauré, Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Zemlinsky, Nino Rota, decided to write pieces for clarinet trio - some of them well-known, others still hidden treasures. Exciting part of this new major collection is the world-premiere recording of a recently discovered clarinet trio fragment written by Arnold Schoenberg, who was directly inspired by the composition of his teacher and brother-in-law Alexander Zemlinsky.
The result of this musical tour-de-force is a comprehensive 7-CD collection to be released in June 2022 with the major label „Decca”.
