Recording by Jerome Summers, clarinet, and Ronald Turini, piano, featured on Songs of the Nightingale (2014) from Blue Griffin Recording, Inc., BGR353 http://www.bluegriffin.com Video Chapters 00:00 – Allegro appasionato 09:05 – Andante un poco adagio 14:27 – Allegretto grazioso 19:32 – Vivace Program Notes by Jerome Summers: “From Brahms’ first meeting (in March of 1891) with the Meiningen Orchestra’s principal clarinetist Richard Mühlfeld, the composer’s work reflects how profoundly he was inspired by the clarinetist. The four ensuing masterworks which Brahms created for Mühlfeld – the Trio, op. 114, the Clarinet Quintet, Op. 115, and the two Sonatas, Op. 120 – marked a significant conclusion to the great composer’s output. The friendship between Brahms and Mühlfeld was evident in Brahms’ playful reference to the clarinetist as ‘Fraulein Klarinette’ and ‘my dear nightingale’. While Mühlfeld’s artistry clearly played a great part in influencing Brahms’ use of the solo clarinet, it was also the melancholy quality of the instrument which appealed deeply to the composer who was aware that his life was nearing an end. It is this metaphor which is reflected in the present series of clarinet recordings, with a special focus on the lyrical beauty apparently inherent in Muhlfeld’s wonderfully-sculpted legato phrases."
