About

Andreas Ottensamer has captured audiences and critics alike with his distinct musicianship and versatility as clarinetist, artistic director and conductor. He is considered one of the leading instrumentalists of our time and performs as a clarinet soloist in the major concert halls around the world with orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, the Seoul Philharmonic and the Netherlands Philharmonic under Sir Simon Rattle, Andris Nelsons, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and Daniel Harding.

For his album Blue Hour, featuring works of Weber, Mendelssohn and Brahms, he partnered with the Berlin Philharmonic under Mariss Jansons and received his second Opus Klassik award as "Instrumentalist of the year".

Now Andreas Ottensamer presents his latest album 'Romanza', a beautiful collection of works by Satie, Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Rota, Debussy and many more, together with his long-term recital partner José Gallardo.

September 2025

The clarinet playing of Andreas Ottensamer, formerly of the Berlin Philharmonic, is hyper-warm and sustained, the piano accompaniments of José Gallardo suitably subservient, and the arrangements sustain the overall languorous mood.
