Performer: Andreas Ottensamer

These charming miniatures sounding overparted snatched from domestic service and pressed into public performance.

Pierre Genisson parachutes in as clarinet soloist to join Montreal's Orchestre Métropolitain, led by Berlin Phil Principal Clarinettist, Andreas Ottensamer.

Almost a case of bringing coals to Newcastle: two works by Brahms, played by a Swiss orchestra and with an Austrian soloist in the composer's home town.

Lorenzo Viotti conducts a programme of familiar favourites including a speedy Prokofiev “Classical” Symphony. 

Capable of being defiant when needed, Kopatchinskaja impresses with the seemingly infinite timbral variety of her pianissimos.

Sparks fly at the Queen's Hall, but it's the gentler arrangements that really impress. 

Part of a great Viennese dynasty, Andreas Ottensamer reflects on the style of clarinet playing in Austria and his work as a leading soloist.
