Paris – the city of so many dreams and promises – has its own special ring in the ears of harpists. In hardly any other place in the world has the harp been played so much, had so many compositions written for it and been so popular. It is no coincidence that all the great works for harp on this album were written in Paris – for that is its home town.

Karl-Heinz Schütz and Frédéric Chaslin met at the Vienna State Opera, where Schütz is principal flutist and Chaslin appears regularly as conductor.
Chaslin’s Sonata for Flute and Piano is tailored to the personality and special qualities of the flutist.
Recorded for the first time, the work gives free rein to the “sentiment parisien” that can also be felt in Debussy and Poulenc. In addition, the two musicians interpret pieces by Varèse, Honegger and Bozza.

Brahms had already decided to retire as a composer when, on a journey to Meiningen in 1891, he was inspired and challenged by clarinettist Richard M”uhlfeld’s beautiful playing. The two Sonatas, Op. 120 are part of a late flowering that resulted in some of Brahms’s finest chamber music. Brahms himself explored these pieces beyond the clarinet, and Karl-Heinz Sch”utz’s arrangements are based on the composer’s own alternative versions, seeking out the ideal of two equally matched instruments in constant dialogue. Also included is a selection of “songs without words”, further expanding the flute repertoire with arrangements of these much-loved Lieder.
