Clarinetist Pierre Genisson's new album features many elective affinities. Pierre Genisson and Quartet 212, made up of
musicians from the Metropolitan Opera, gather around the quintets of Mozart and Weber, related by Wolfi and Constanze's
wedding. Those two radiant scores, where the warm and voluptuous timbre of the clarinet melts in the brightness of the
strings, frame their passionate dialogue in a sophisticated blend that the album's title, 'How I met Mozart', updates
mischievously.
Born in 1986, Pierre Genisson is one of the best representatives of the French new generation of woodwind players. Winner
of the prestigious Carl Nielsen International Competition, he won the 1st Prize and the Audience Prize of the International
Competition Jacques Lancelot of Tokyo. He then made his first recording 'Made in France' with the pianist David Bismuth for
Aparte label. Acclaimed by the press, it received in particular a Diapason d'Or and the 4 "ffff" of the magazine Telerama.
