All this week on Classic Drive, Lorcan will feature music from 'Romanza' by Andreas Ottensamer
Coming from a celebrated family of clarinetists, Andreas Ottensamer has become one of the best-known players of that instrument, beloved by audiences and critics alike. On his new album 'Romanza,' he explores the seductive beauty of classical favorites by Satie, Brahms, Rachmaninov, and more with his longtime collaborator, pianist José Gallardo. Some of the selections were originally written for clarinet and piano, others were arranged by Ottensamer himself. All are played with the sensitivity and emotional depth that audiences have come to expect from these two exceptional musicians.
