Anthony McGill, principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic, and pianist Gloria Chien, a frequent performer with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, make their commercial recording debut as a duo on Here with You, an album of early and late German Romantic masterworks they've treasured throughout their 15 years of mutual admiration and musical collaboration. It's a project that embodies, in the artists' words, a shared expression of beauty and friendship. Johannes Brahms and Carl Maria von Weber were accomplished pianists who wrote for - and performed with - the leading clarinetists of their day. Brahms' Sonata No. 1, Opus 120, spotlights fast-paced, intense dialogues between the two players, while his Sonata No. 2 explores the clarinet's entire tonal range. Weber's Grand Duo Concertant has been described as a double concerto without orchestra showcasing sheer virtuosity for both instruments. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's newest Mead Composer-in-Residence, Jessie Montgomery wrote Peace in 2020 as a response to the global pandemic. McGill and Chien offer the world-premiere recording of the clarinet and piano version.
