What happens when the velvety sound of the clarinet is joined by the dark but warm sound of the viola and the rich harmonious sound of the piano? The diversity of the result is indeed impressive! The three instruments complement each other in an ideal way, whether they unravel similar musical material together or contribute different phrases and moods to the musical action. That’s why their combination brings out just as successfully both the sensitive writing of Bruch and the piquantly humorous writing of Françaix. And all these become even more interesting when the three soloists are as gifted, skilled and imaginative as Ilias Livieratos, Spyros Mourikis and Nefeli Mousoura.
