When do you ever really have the time to explore a niche genre such as the clarinet trio in any depth?
The first Covid-19 lockdown presented just such an opportunity for the three Austrian musicians Daniel Ottensamer, Stephan Koncz and Christoph Traxler. The result: a 7-CD box set that won the German Record Critics’ Prize (4/2022) and can now be experienced live across the seasons in the Robert Schumann Hall.
