"Aires favors the rare soprano clarinet, its birdlike, vibrato-laced tones providing a sharp foil to Bogacz’s deep, resonant strings. Their dialogue is jagged and full of overlapping, dissonant bursts, yet it remains cohesive. The duet shifts fluidly between quiet contemplation and raw passion. Even at their most furious, the pair balances spontaneous fire with a shared sense of elegance and absolute technical mastery."
