The sonatas, full of tenderness and quiet intensity, were composed for clarinetist Richard Muhlfeld, whose warm, lyrical playing reignited Brahms's desire to compose after a period of silence. This is music of dialogue, not declaration. Nicola Boud and Anthony Romaniuk perform on instruments close to those Brahms and Muhlfeld would have known: a replica of Muhlfeld's 19th-century boxwoodclarinet and an 1875 Steinway piano. These choices bring a soft, transparent quality to the sound, inviting a more intimate listening experience. Expressive tools of 19th-century performance: rubato, flexibility, arpeggiation, are used not as effects, but as natural extensions of the music's emotional landscape.Brahms once called the Op. 117 Intermezzi \"three lullabies of my grief.\" These restrained yet luminous pieces distil his late style into elegiac monologues, offering quiet spaces where time feels suspended. Together, these warm, reflective and deeply emotional works offer a glimpse into Brahms' final years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 2, Op. 120 No. 2~Allegro amabile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 2, Op. 120 No. 2~Allegro appassionato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 2, Op. 120 No. 2~Andante con moto - Allegro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Intermezzi, Op. 117~Andante moderato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Intermezzi, Op. 117~Andante non troppe e con molto espressione\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Intermezzi, Op. 117~Andante con moto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 1, Op. 120 No. 1~Allegro appassionato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 1, Op. 120 No. 1~Andante un poco adagio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 1, Op. 120 No. 1~Allegretto grazioso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClarinet Sonata No. 1, Op. 120 No. 1~Vivace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWie Melodien zieht es mir, Op. 105 No. 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5400439008557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuga Libera Label\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.12.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53235185877152,"sku":"5400439008557","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4455016-3445176.jpg?v=1770371060","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/nicola-boud-brahms-clarinet-sons-op-120-3-intermezzi-op-1-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
