Raphaël Sévère (Clarinet)

“Dazzling naturalness.” Télérama

“Boisterous performance.”  Gramophone

“Sévère’s tone was rounded and mellow, rich in the low chalumeau register and clarion bright at the top.” The Washington Post

 “His entire being demonstrates how much Mozart’s music lives inside him…He can bring out any nuance in this sublime score and he phrases the music like a poet.” Classique News
