about

Clarinetist Pierre Génisson's new album features many elective affinities. Pierre Génisson and the Quartet 212, made up of musicians from the Met Opera, gather around the quintets of Mozart and Weber, related by Wolfi and Constance's wedding. Those two radiant scores, where the warm and voluptuous timbre of the clarinet melts in the brightness of the strings, frame their passionate dialogue in a sophisticated blend that the album's title, How I met Mozart, updates mischievously.

Les affinités électives sont nombreuses dans ce nouvel album du clarinettiste Pierre Génisson. C'est autour des quintettes de Mozart et Weber, compositeurs liés par le mariage de Wolfi avec Constance, que Pierre Génisson rencontre le Quartet 212 des musiciens du Metropolitan Opera. Ces deux partitions lumineuses, où le timbre chaud de la clarinette se fond dans la brillance des cordes, sont l'écrin du dialogue amoureux des instruments. Un mélange raffiné que le titre de l'album en forme de clin d’œil, How I met Mozart, actualise avec malice.
