Hartmann was one of the most important and independently-minded German composers of the 20th century. This recording embraces two of his most well-known works, which bridge the epochs of the Late Romantic and the Modern, as well as a premiere recording of his Chamber Concerto for clarinet, string quartet and orchestra.
"Isabelle Faust gives a most persuasive and moving account, her technically flawless playing combining energy, passion and dramatic power with the utmost poise, sensitivity and expressive warmth. Her response to the work's extra-musical associations seems totally spontaneous and displays no sign of strict studio manners, thanks in no small way to the orchestra's sympathetic and keenly polished playing under Christoph Poppen?s skilful direction. Such orchestral polish extends to the reading of Hartmann?s Fourth Symphony, which incorporates a mix of influences ranging from Bartók to Webern; together with the Petersen Quartet Poppen's forces provide excellent support for the virtuosity of clarinettist Paul Meyer in this premiere recording of the lengthy and challenging Chamber Concerto. The quartet performs a largely expressive, atmospheric role and is sensitively attuned throughout to the work?s wide range of moods."
- Robin Stowell, The Strad
