The recital features the duo of Jane Plessner on clarinet and Nicola Grunberg on piano. This combination of instruments is particularly rich, especially when tackling the Romantic era repertoire. They are set to perform two cornerstones of the genre. First up are Robert Schumann’s lyrical Fantasy Pieces. These works are known for their expressive depth and shifting moods, perfectly capturing the "Fantasy" element of the concert title. Following this, the program moves into the later Romantic period with a Brahms clarinet sonata. Brahms wrote his clarinet works late in life, and they are often considered some of his most reflective and beautiful chamber compositions. Hearing these two composers side-by-side offers a great opportunity to compare the early and late German Romantic styles.
