Listening to Bettina Aust’s GENUIN debut CD, we are immersed not only in the young clarinetist’s joy of life, but also her qualities of depth and thoughtfulness. The winner of the 2015 German Music Competition presents a kaleidoscope of musical styles, instrumental colors, and feelings that speak to us in works by Jean Françaix, Jörg Widmann, Leonard Bernstein, and Johannes Brahms. Bettina Aust teams up with her brother in an unbelievably well-synchronized duet, sounding out the full potential of both instruments in every moment – simply extraordinary!
