Louis Sclavis/Benjamin Moussay Unfolding
Having previously joined forces on several Louis Sclavis recordings for ECM (including the clarinetist's last album, Characters On A Wall), Sclavis and pianist Benjamin Moussay have been increasingly focused on their two-way communication in recent years, playing expansive and well-received concerts throughout Europe. Now, in a program of originals (two-thirds from the pianist's pen, the remaining third by the clarinetist), the French duo dreams up a world of chamber conversations that juxtaposes lyrical contemplation with whimsical inventiveness in a joyous, concentrated collaboration.
