Figures

Chamber music for low clarinets, deeply humming, lyrical, grooving. Fie Schouten, clarinettist with a love for low instruments and praised for her warm lyrical sound, has made a CD in which she is flanked by other low clarinets, an organ, a singer, a harpsichord and cello and piano. Like a chameleon, she colours each piece differently because of the character of her fellow players and their different instruments. The title of the CD is referring to the role of the clarinet in the last piece called Oever (shore): a melodic, meandering role, like a figure in the landscape.
