Eduard Brunner

Swiss-German clarinetist Eduard Brunner continues to be significant for collaborations with top-quality chamber organizations, for adventurous recordings, as well as perhaps specifically for his dedication to modern music. Created in Basel, Switzerland, in 1939, he researched with pioneering French clarinetist Louis Cahuzac in Paris until Cahuzac’s loss of life in a motorbike crash. The basics of his professional existence are common plenty of in design: he spent a long time as 1st clarinetist from the Bavarian Radio Symphony through the conductorship of Rafael Kubelik, later on shifting to a professorship in the Hochschüle für Musik in the western German town of Saarbrücken. On the way arrived rounds of the very best European celebrations and get better at classes at famous brands the Marlboro Music Event in the U.S. condition of Vermont. Brunner offers commissioned lots of the modern specifications of clarinet music, including concertos by Edison Denisov, Jean Françaix, Ernest Bloch, and recently Cristóbal Halffter, but he was also a keen exponent of clarinet specifications by famous brands Spohr, Weber, and Stamitz. His recordings, a lot more than 250 in quantity, have made an appearance on a number of labels, having a concentration of these appearing for the avant-garde jazz/traditional German label ECM. Maybe most characteristic had been Brunner’s chamber music collaborations, where he often became a member of with critically acclaimed performers of a relatively intellectual solid: Alfred Brendel, the Végh Quartet, and Yuri Bashmet. In 2007 Brunner released a disk of modern Swiss clarinet music on the tiny Musiques Suisses label; the disk included an interview with Brunner by Utmost Nyffeler. Remaining energetic as he contacted his eighth 10 years, Brunner adopted that up with one of the recordings he offers made of wind flow chamber music by German composer Harald Genzmer.
