Clarinetist David Shifrin has
joined cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han for a recording of clarinet trios by Beethoven, Brahms and Bruch for ArtistLed.

The release includes two of the
most popular works from the clarinet chamber music repertoire
– Beethoven’s Trio in B-flat major, Op. 11 and Brahms’s Trio in A minor, Op. 114 – paired with four selections from the romantic Op. 83 Eight Pieces by Max Bruch.

David Finckel describes the recording as a project that “has as much
to do with our guest artist David Shifrin as it does with the music
itself. We have long regarded David as a consummate artist, one
whose unsurpassed instrumental ability is matched by a deep and
ever-evolving musicality that makes playing with him always a
creative adventure.”

ArtistLed was founded in 1997 by the husband-and-wife partnership
of Finckel and Han, with this latest release the 14th recording issued
by the label since then.
