The two artists, Alena Cherny (www.alenacherny.ch) – piano and
Fabio Di Càsola (www.dicasola.com) – clarinet, who live in the Canton of Zurich, are united not only by their musical harmony and many years of concert experience, but also by their shared joy of discovery and commitment to the music of small ensembles, spanning the entire repertoire from the Baroque era to the present day. They do not limit themselves to works for clarinet and piano, but enhance the appeal of their repertoire by collaborating with other musicians, thus expanding the possibilities for interesting juxtapositions of works.
Two CDs have been released by Sony as a duo, and both have further CDs available from Sony. The first duo CD features Schumann and Brahms, the second Schubert, Brahms, and Prokofiev. Both have received excellent reviews in the music press.
Their audiences enjoy a rich tonal palette, and the duo is able to offer a variety of programs.
