Album & Artwork
The album's concept is a 'macro cycle' of chamber music for clarinet and piano by composers from Germany, Denmark, and Russia, rather than a random collection of pieces.

Robert Schumann's 'Fantasiestücke' Op. 73 served as the starting point for the album's concept, influencing the development of the romantic miniature in chamber music.
Performer Biography
Georgy Voylochnikov, the pianist, has won numerous awards, including first prizes at the 2nd Changsha Piano Competition and the Cologne Music Competition.
Recording & Production
The recording uses high-quality tube condenser microphones and amplifiers, many of which were developed and built by the sound engineer Mathias Kiesling himself.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album aims to trace Robert Schumann's influence and his spiritual kinship with the chamber music of Russian composers like Alexander Gretschaninow and Nikolai Medtner.
