This new recording presents works for the unusual combination of Clarinet, Violin and Piano, all written in the first half of the 20th century, and most of them with an inspirational tie with the French capital of Paris.

Included are the suite from L’Histoire du Soldat by Stravinsky, the trio by Darius Milhaud, the famous Contrasts by Béla Bartók and the first Rhapsody for clarinet and piano and Violin Sonata by Debussy. All works express that unique, thrilling atmosphere of the era, in which new experiments were tried and music was enriched by elements of the Jazz and Folk Music.

Played by one of Italy’s foremost clarinet players Davide Bandieri, violinist Gyula Stuller and pianist Gerardo Vila. Bandieri already successfully recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Busoni, Hindemith, Frühling and Zemlinsky.
