Double

Description

Mythical clarinetist and musician at the crossroads of classical, jazz, and film music, Michel Portal reunites with Paul Meyer, another exceptional ambassador of the clarinet in the world and a lifelong friend. Side by side and accompanied by the Orchestre de Chambre de Wallonie, they present a program that allows their complicity to shine through, whether it be a baroque, gallant, or romantic repertoire. Thus, Telemann's Concerto in D minor for 2 chalumeaux and strings is paired with Carl Stamitz's Concerto No. 4 for two clarinets, while Mendelssohn's Konzertstücke No. 1 & 2 respond to other duos by Telemann and C.P.E. Bach. Each work constitutes a calm dialogue where the words are notes, a sensitive testament to two exceptional journeys.
