'Brahms is not easy to approach. He likes to conceal the beauties of his works, and one only becomes conscious of them trhough a deep knowledge of his music.' Max Reger 1894

“Max Reger’s comment could have just as well applied to his own music, which is also reputedly difficult to get to grips with. When we plunged into studying his Opus 49 Sonatas, it was only after sorting through their many-stranded complexity - and especially their intricate harmonic patterns - that we were able to appreciate their beauty. It was much liked the Albumblatt (Album leaf), a short piece written in the same period as the Opus 49 Sonatas, that it would have been impossible not to include it, too. “ Florent Héau & Patrick Zygmanowski

Florent Heau won praise for his recordings of Mozart’s chamber music for clarinet in 2008, an album which received excellent support from Classic FM.
