专辑简介

The title “PLUS!” stands for something that is of central importance in the repertoire of Das Klarinettenduo Beate Zelinsky | David Smeyers: the interaction with other soloists or ensemble formations. The combination with the accordion (Krisztian Palagyi) is particularly attractive; it can merge with the sound of the clarinets to a perfect unity, but it can also emerge clearly perceptible from this composite sound. This prompted Nikolaus Brass to write a work for the three musicians: Songs and Melodies. It is here, as well as the compositions of Jukka Tiensuu, Younghi Pagh-Paan and Georg Katzer, juxtaposed with music by Johann Sebastian Bach. Two-Part Inventions have been placed between the contemporary works – in the versions of Max Reger / Karl Straube and Helmut Lachenmann, who each added a third voice. Another level for the idea of “PLUS!” in this extraordinary program.
